The Mumbai Indians (MI), one of the most successful franchises in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, are set to enter the 2025 IPL mega auction with a clear strategy and a strong financial position. Scheduled to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on November 24-25, the auction is expected to be highly competitive as teams look to revamp their squads for the upcoming season.
MI, who endured a disappointing 2024 season finishing last in the 10-team league, will have Rs 45 crore remaining in their auction purse. With five IPL titles under their belt, MI will be looking to strengthen their squad by adding key players across different departments. They also hold one strategic Right to Match (RTM) card, allowing them to potentially retain a player by matching the highest bid during the auction.
