By Akshay - March 18, 2025 11:45 AMMI Best Playing 11, IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians (MI), the most successful franchise in IPL history, is gearing up for the 2025 season and has a strong desire to regain its supremacy. Led by Hardik Pandya, MI will aim to leave behind the disappointment of IPL 2024 and win a record sixth title.
MI retained key players such as Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Tilak Verma, ensuring a strong core. The franchise made important signings at the Jeddah auction, including England's Will Jacks, New Zealand's Trent Boult, South Africa's Ryan Rickelton and spinner Mitchell Santner.
However, injuries forced MI to replace Allah Ghazanfar and Lizaad Williams with Afghanistan's Mujeeb Ur Rahman and South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch. Although there were concerns over Bumrah's availability at the start of the season due to fitness issues, reports suggest that he could return after a few games. MI's first match will be against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings on March 23
