MI IPL Auction 2026 LIVE.
MI Players Auction IPL 2026 LIVE: Mumbai Indians had retained most of the players from the squad that reached Qualifier 2 of the playoffs earlier this year, marking a remarkable turnaround after losing four of their first five matches of the season. By holding on to their solid core and pulling off a couple of astute trades, bringing in Shardul Thakur from Lucknow Super Giants and Sherfane Rutherford from Gujarat Titans, the five-time champions appear well settled.
Hardik Panday-led side is likely to approach the auction with a calm, strategic mindset, with just five slots left to fill. Mumbai Indians are expected to prioritise smart, budget-friendly domestic options instead of entering expensive bidding battles for big-name players.
Mumbai Indians Retained Players include Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Robin Minz, Ryan Rickelton, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Will Jacks, Corbin Bosch, Raj Bawa, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar, Ashwani Kumar, Raghu Sharma, AM Ghazanfar, Shardul Thakur (traded from Lucknow Super Giants), Sherfane Rutherford (traded from Gujarat Titans) and Mayank Markande (traded from Kolkata Knight Riders).
