NEW DELHI: The Mumbai Indians (MI), one of the most successful Indian Premier League (IPL) teams with five titles, are tight on budget to fill the remaining slots as they go into the two-day IPL auction in the port city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Every franchise had a total purse of INR 120 crore before the retention window opened, and MI chose to spend INR 75 crore of those to retain the core players from their last roster and were left with INR 45 crore in their purse before taking the flight to Jeddah.
