The IPL 2026 auction is setting up a season of high expectations for Mumbai Indians
The IPL 2026 mini-auction held in mid-December in Abu Dhabi was marked by record bids for all-rounders and a strategic push by franchises to complete their squads within a purse of ₹125 crore. while Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings dominating the talk of mega-signings, Mumbai Indians’ story was more about consolidation, having already invested heavily in a core of proven match-winners before entering the auction with a modest balance sheet.
MI went into the auction with a large chunk of their budget already committed to keeping the likes of Bumrah. Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar provide stability in leadership and star power, leaving limited room for big-ticket gambles. By the end of the process, the franchise had spent a possible ₹125 crore out of a possible €124.45 crore, leaving just ₹0.55 crore in the kitty and filling all 25 slots, including the full quota of eight foreign players, underscoring its intention to pull back hard.
Given the experience and gender composition, a season of high hopes naturally follows for MI. Hardik continues as the linchpin of the captaincy, supported by Rohit’s leadership experience, Suryakumar’s X-factor batting and Bumrah’s unique influence with the ball, forming a backbone that will carry both the tactical responsibility and expectations in IPL 2026.
