Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians (MI) bought 18 players in the IPL 2025 mega auction that had taken place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
They had done the bulk of the work before the auction by retaining a strong Indian core of five players, namely Jasprit Bumrah (INR 18 crore), Suryakumar Yadav (INR 16.35 crore), Hardik Pandya (INR 16.35 crore), Rohit Sharma (INR 16.30 crore) and Tilak Varma (INR 8 crore). These five retentions give the Mumbai Indians great depth in all three departments.
MI was rather quiet during the marquee sets but then made their move to bring back star Kiwi pacer Trent Boult for INR 12.50 crore. They also bought star Indian pacer Deepak Chahar for INR 9.25 crore and their combination with Bumrah is already been talked about as one of the best pace-bowling trios in the competition.
MI used the RTM option to bring back Naman Dhir for INR 5.25 crore. They also picked up England quick Reece Topley for INR 75 lakh.
England's explosive batter Will Jacks could well open the batting with Rohit Sharma as Mumbai Indians got Jacks for INR 5.25 crore in the mega auction. Mumbai are known to sign some unearthed gems and there has been a lot of talk about New Zealand's Bevon Jacobs, whom they have signed for INR 30 lakhs.
