Mumbai Indians have bolstered their squad for IPL 2025 with key overseas players. Trent Boult (INR 12.50 crore), returning after a stint with Rajasthan Royals, will form a strong pace partnership with Jasprit Bumrah. Mitchell Santner (INR 2 crore), an effective spinner, fills the void in MI’s spin department. Will Jacks (INR 5.25 crore), known for his versatility, strengthens the batting lineup, while Afghan teenager Allah Ghazanfar (INR 4.8 crore) offers promising spin options.
1. Will Jacks
Will Jacks, after being released by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, was acquired by Mumbai Indians for INR 5.25 crore in the IPL 2025 auction. Jacks played a pivotal role in RCB’s playoff push last season, scoring 230 runs in 8 matches. Known for his versatility and power-hitting, he is a valuable addition to MI’s squad. His ability to open the batting or slot into the middle order adds depth to the lineup, and his part-time bowling skills offer further flexibility. Mumbai Indians will be keen to leverage his all-round abilities in the upcoming season.
2. Mitchell Santner
Mitchell Santner was acquired by Mumbai Indians at his base price of INR 2 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, following his release by CSK. Though he had limited opportunities with CSK, Santner is known for his ability to deliver impactful performances with the ball when needed. His inclusion addresses Mumbai Indians’ struggle with the absence of an overseas spinner last season. Additionally, Santner’s ability to contribute with the bat in the lower middle order adds value to the squad, making him an important player for MI in the upcoming season.
3. Allah Ghazanfar
Afghan teenage spinner Allah Ghazanfar was acquired by Mumbai Indians for INR 4.8 crore in the IPL 2025 auction after being released by KKR. Despite being part of KKR’s squad, Ghazanfar didn’t make his IPL debut. Now with MI, he is expected to pair with Mitchell Santner to lead the team’s spin attack. Ghazanfar has already shown promise in international cricket, and Mumbai Indians will be looking to him to translate his potential into impactful performances on the big stage in the upcoming season.
4. Trent Boult
Trent Boult was bought by Mumbai Indians for INR 12.50 crore in the IPL 2025 auction after being released by Rajasthan Royals. Boult was a key bowler for RR in previous seasons, and prior to that, he was part of MI, taking 38 wickets in 29 matches over two seasons. Now returning to MI, Boult will look to regain his form and make a strong impact. He is expected to share the new ball with Jasprit Bumrah, creating a formidable bowling partnership. Mumbai Indians will be hoping Boult can deliver once again and help them achieve success in the upcoming season.
