IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians (MI) have made strategic moves to strengthen their squad for the 2025 IPL edition. During the recently concluded IPL mega auction, the Mumbai Indians secured a mix of experienced players and fresh talents. The most notable acquisition was the return of Trent Boult, who was bought for a whopping Rs 12.5 crore. Additionally, this five-time champion league added several other key players to their side, including both overseas and Indian talents. In this article, we will check out 4 first-choice overseas players from the Mumbai Indians IPL 2025 squad.
4 overseas picks for MI in IPL 2025
Trent Boult
Express pacer Trent Boult is likely to be the first player on the list. After bagging his services in the IPL mega auction, Mumbai Indians are likely to pair him with Jasprit Bumrah for IPL 2025. Trent Boult and Bumrah are likely to operate with the new ball and will try to stem the flow of runs in powerplay and take early wickets. It must be mentioned that Trent Boult was a part of the MI squad back when they won the IPL 2020 held in Dubai.
Will Jacks
With Ishan Kishan gone, Will Jacks might be slotted in with Rohit Sharma for the opening role. Speaking about Jacks, the English batter does not waste much time in settling and likes to dominate the proceedings. With good batting conditions at the Wankhede Stadium, Jack might turn out to be unstoppable.
Mitchell Santner
One of the best spinners across the formats, Mitchell Santner can easily be slotted in as Mumbai Indians prime spinner for IPL 2025. The left-arm spinner is a clever customer and has the ability to slow down the flow of runs in the middle phase. Apart from his bowling antics, Santner is more than handy with the bat.
Allah Gazanfar/Reece Topley
Allah Ghazanfar, was bought for Rs 4.8 crore in the last held IPL 2025 Mega Auction. His base price was just Rs 75 lakh, but Mumbai Indians aggressive bid reflected their faith in his skills and potential. With MI bidding so aggressively for the spinner, it looks like Gazanfar might be making his IPL debut soon enough. If the conditions are not spin friendly, MI can opt for Reece Topley or Lizaad Williams in their playing XI.
