Defending champions Mumbai Indians on Thursday assembled a squad that is a fine blend of experience and exciting youth as they gear up for yet another tilt at the Indian Premier League title. The franchise after raising a few eyebrows in the 2025 season; where they were runners-up, has managed to keep most of their core players intact and have been clever with their additions in the lucky mini-auction. The idea appears to be to combine savvy with fresh legs, offering the team both stability and bounce. Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya as captain and Mahela Jayawardene as coach, MI fans can look forward to a challenging season filled with excitement.
