Mumbai Indians (MI) made calculated moves at the IPL 2025 mega auction, assembling a squad that blends international experience with fresh domestic talent. The five-time champions secured key players to address strategic gaps in their lineup, showcasing their trademark auction acumen.
Trent Boult headlines MI's Auction Buys
The standout acquisition for MI was New Zealand pacer Trent Boult, who was snapped up for Rs 12.50 crore. A proven match-winner with his ability to swing the ball both ways, Boult will bolster MI's pace attack and add depth alongside Jasprit Bumrah.
Big Investment in Uncapped Talent
MI demonstrated their confidence in emerging Indian talent by making a bold Rs 5.25 crore bid for uncapped batter Naman Dhir. Known for his aggressive batting style, Dhir is expected to be a valuable addition to MI's middle order.
Strengthening the Core
South African wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton, secured at his base price of Rs 1 crore, adds international experience and versatility to MI's squad. His ability to adapt to different batting roles makes him a reliable backup option.
Affordable Domestic Picks
The franchise also invested in uncapped domestic players Robin Minz (Rs 65 lakh) and Karn Sharma (Rs 50 lakh). Both players bring promise and will likely be groomed for future roles within the team.
