Mumbai Indians did not have a good outing last season, failing to perform well and ultimately struggling under their new captain, Hardik Pandya. As mentioned, many things went horribly wrong—whether it was batting or bowling, the team failed to capitalize on the talent they had and crumbled under pressure. However, for IPL 2025, they have made significant changes. In the mega auction, they acquired some promising players, and they also retained key names who could potentially make a big impact. But who are the three players we can expect to shine for MI in IPL 2025? Let’s take a look at all three names who could be game-changers for the Mumbai Indians in the upcoming season.
Players who could be game-changer for MI in IPL 2025
Hardik Pandya
If we look at the last season, everything went badly for Hardik Pandya. Under his captaincy, MI finished tenth, and he faced boos all around. He failed to contribute with the bat, managing only 216 runs, and with the ball, he appeared ineffective, struggling to make good decisions, which ultimately backfired. However, we all know how he turned things around. Redemption came during the T20 World Cup 2024, where he suddenly became a hero with his all-round performance. We can expect him to do well in IPL 2025 as well. Since he is all set to lead MI again, he could be one of the key players for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025.
Will Jacks
Surely a big player in the top order, Will Jacks is someone from whom MI can derive massive benefits. With experience as an opener, having scored tons of runs in The Hundred and performed well for RCB at No. 3 last season, he is a formidable batter, and there is no question about it, making him a highly favored player. This is why we also saw MI’s owner shaking hands with RCB management after acquiring Jacks, thanking them for not using the RTM card. This gesture highlights just how much MI wanted Jacks in their squad.
Rohit Sharma
Although not in good form currently, and with his struggles evident everywhere, it’s difficult to remove Rohit Sharma from the T20 format. He is one of the most valuable and experienced MI players, always bringing that extra punch to his game, especially in the first 6 overs, where he loves to take on the bowlers and perform exceptionally well. Despite not having the best season last year, he will look to make a mark with the bat and make his fans happy once again.
