The Mumbai Indians have locked in their squad ahead of the upcoming IPL 2026 mini-auction. The five-time champions, led by captain Hardik Pandya, have held on to their biggest Indian stars and made some key trades to build a powerful roster.
With a strong-looking team already in place, MI will head to the auction with a very specific, limited shopping list and the smallest purse of all the franchises. And while that might look concerning for some, it shows the level of confidence the franchise has in its current roster.
