Mumbai: Mumbai Indians are working hard ahead of the IPL star auction. It is clear that Mumbai have learned from last season’s poor performance and have gone into efforts to build a better squad. Mumbai has released 13 players including franchise legend Kieron Pollard. It also includes five foreign players. With this, Mumbai can spend 20.55 crores in the star auction. Jason Behrendorff has also been brought to the Mumbai team through a trade from RCB.
Mumbai released stars
Kieron Pollard, Anmolpreet Singh, Aryan Juyal, Basil Thampi, Daniel Sams, Fabian Allen, Jaydev Unadghat, Mayank Markande, Murugan Ashwin, Rahul Bhuddhi, Riley Meredith, Sanjay Yadav, Tymal Mills.
Mumbai’s current squad
Rohit Sharma (captain), Tim David, Ramandeep Singh, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Tristan Stubbs, Devald Brevis, Jofra Archer, Jasprit Bumrah, Arjun Tendulkar, Arshad Khan, Kumar Karthikeya, Hrithik Shokin, Jason Behrendorff, Akash Madhwal .
Mumbai is gearing up for the next season by retaining its trusted batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. The batting line-up will be strengthened with the addition of new sensations Tim David, Tristan Stubbs and Devald Brevis. This time, Mumbai Indians are paying close attention to the bowling department, which suffered a setback last season.
Last season, Bumrah was almost isolated in the Mumbai line-up, which was lined up with the best pacers of all time. Mumbai will be strengthened with the arrival of Archer and Behrendorff, who missed last season due to joint injury to Bumrah. Mumbai Indians will surely try to bring a good spinner to the team in the auction.
