Mumbai Indians (MI) had a disappointing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, as star players like Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya failed to deliver impactful performances. As a result, in the upcoming IPL 2025 auction, they will be looking to rebuild and approach the new season with fresh additions to the team. While MI is expected to retain key Indian players like Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah, these overseas players could be among their targets in the IPL auction.
3 Overseas players MI might target in IPL 2025 mega auction
Kusal Mendis
Kusal Mendis has been in phenomenal form. The Sri Lankan player went unsold in the IPL 2024 auction, with no franchises bidding for him. However, this time he might secure a deal. Mumbai Indians should consider signing him as a wicketkeeper-batter, as they will need a wicketkeeper who can also provide strong batting performances.
Latest News
Glenn Maxwell
Since there are reports that Royal Challengers Bangalore may not retain Glenn Maxwell for the IPL 2025 season, MI could consider bidding for him, as he is a match-winner. Maxwell has the ability to turn games around at any point and can contribute with both bat and ball.
Adam Zampa
Adam Zampa could also be on the list of players MI might target, as they need a quality spinner in their squad. Zampa has been in excellent form internationally and could deliver strong performances for MI. He last played in the IPL in 2020, and last year he withdrew his name from the auction.
