Mumbai Indians (MI) Full Squad LIVE Updates – Day 1
Murugan Ashwin Joins Mumbai. Basil Thampi joins Mumbai for 30 lakhs. Uncapped player Dewald Brevis fetch hefty sum. Mumbai Indians have woken up and not just woken up, they are now calling the shots. As expected, they get Ishan Kishan for a whopping ₹15.25 crore which was in the expected lines.
Mumbai Indians have had a very quiet first half in the auction with no players to show for their limited efforts in going for some players. Expect a busy session for Mumbai Indians in the second-half of the auction.
Mumbai Indians are the most successful franchise in the history of the tournament, having won as many as five titles so far and they were able to do that because of the core of players they were able to build over the years. With only four players allowed to retain, it was no brainer to keep the services of Rohit Sharma who will lead the team and is the most successful captain in the IPL.
Along with Rohit, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard have also been retained but at the same time, they were forced to let go of some very big names and players who were integral to Mumbai Indians success over the years. Players like Ishan Kishan, Trent Boult will go under the hammer along with Krunal Pandya while Hardik Pandya has already switched teams for the upcoming seasons.
Mumbai would look to get Kishan from the auction and reports suggest that they are willing to go any length to get him back in the team. With only Bumrah as the key bowler for the team, the Mumbai-based franchise would look to get some good bowlers onboard. Whom will they go for? The auctions will be a good place to find that out.
