Mumbai Indians, five-time winners, are naming their team for IPL 2026, stepping into the upcoming season with fresh focus following a shaky run in 2025.
The five-time IPL champs, the Mumbai Indians, did a decent performance last season, making it to the semis, but they’re aiming to boost their squad ahead of IPL 2026. On Saturday, the league announced that MI traded young Arjun Tendulkar to Lucknow Super Giants; instead, they got leg-spinner Mayank Markande back from Kolkata Knight Riders via a swap deal.
With the retention window now over, MI decided to keep their main senior players like Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav. They’ve made changes to the rest of the team to create a better balance in all areas. The team leaders think this new group has the right mix of experience, power, and consistency, which should help MI make a serious comeback and aim for their sixth IPL trophy.

Mumbai Indians have a budget of Rs 2.75 crore that remains with them from their purse in the case of a mini-auction for IPL 2026. A few calculated moves to strengthen their squad can be made by them with this amount. MI might concentrate on addressing the particular holes in either the batting or the bowling department of their team while still using their money efficiently so as to keep their lineup balanced and capable of winning in the next season.
