Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) have been away from the IPL title for a long time. The performance of this team, which last won the trophy in 2020, has been up and down in the last few seasons. This team was captained for a long time by Rohit Sharma, who led MI to five titles. Later, after being traded to Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya came back and took over the captaincy, but under his captaincy, the team performed worst in the 2024 season and finished last.

Last season, MI made a strong comeback after a poor start and made it to the playoffs and reached Qualifier 2. The franchise expressed confidence in its core ahead of the upcoming season and retained 20 players. This time he did not have much money left for the auction. The franchise sat on the auction table with a purse of Rs 2.7 crore.
