IPL 2025: 3 Strengths of Mumbai Indians (MI)

The five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will be eyeing a huge comeback in the IPL 2025 tournament. This is especially after they finished 10th in the IPL 2024, winning only four matches out of 14 they played.

Hardik Pandya replacing Rohit Sharma as MI captain after one decade made him a public enemy for MI fans, and he received hate everywhere the team played, including at home in Mumbai. However, thanks to Hardik Pandya’s performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 and ICC Champions Trophy 2025, tides have turned in his favor.

Expect the MI team and Hardik to receive huge support and love this time, and even in the auction, MI had made some very good purchases to strengthen their already good squad. With this in consideration, we take a look at major strengths of the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025.

Here are the 3 strengths of Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2025:

1. Amazing Indian batting talent

MI possesses perhaps one of the greatest Indian batting units in the IPL 2025. With Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya leading the way, MI also has young blood in Robin Minz, Naman Dhir, K. Shrijith, and Raj Bawa to provide support to these experienced players. Foreign batters like Ryan Rickelton, Bevon Jacobs, and Will Jacks will give the edge MI needs in IPL 2025.

2. MI boasts of the best versatile bowling attack.

Mumbai Indians welcomed Trent Boult back into the fold during the IPL 2025 mega auction. He will partner Jasprit Bumrah with the new ball. They will be assisted by Deepak Chahar, Hardik Pandya, and Reece Topley in the pace department. Coming to the spinners, MI might find themselves a bit short on experience, but they have Karn Sharma, Mitchell Santner, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Will Jacks in that department for supplements.

3. Powerful core to lead the MI team

MI has the best top order thanks to them retaining the likes of Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav. All of these players have shown great affinity to destroy bowling attacks in powerplays. The addition of Will Jacks, Bevon Jacobs, Ryan Rickelton, Robin Minz, Raj Bawa, and Naman Dhir only makes MI batting more dangerous.
