Mumbai Indians reshaped their squad during the 2022 mega auction. However, in the same season, they also witnessed arguably the worst run in the league ever. Nothing worked in their favor in that season as they ended their campaign at the last spot of the table. However, the thing that struck many was the team’s investment in young and long-time prospects like Dewald Brevis. Brevis has proved to be an enigma of cricketing, especially hitting skills.
Moving along in the IPL 2024 season, the team like the others has put out their retention list. In fact, Mumbai kickstarted the trade season by trading Jason Behrendorff from Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, in what seems like the biggest update, MI has parted ways with Kieron Pollard. However, Pollard has since retired from the league altogether and is looking forward to joining the team as the batting coach. Meanwhile, the squad has retained the core of Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah. And the captain Rohit Sharma is of course on top of the retention list.
The team, moreover, has also released some notable names. Jaydev Unadkat couldn’t find a place in the squad anymore. Same with Daniel Sams, Basil Thampi, and Tymal Mills. With the retention and releases now set in place, all eyes are now on the mini-auction scheduled in December this year. Mumbai Indians have a total of 9 slots left to fill with approximately 20.55 crores remaining in their purse for the auction.
