The IPL 2025 mega auction is just days away and five-time champs Mumbai Indians are all set to make some big moves. They’ve already announced their retained players, and now it’s time to fill up the squad.
With ₹45 crore left in their purse, MI fans are wondering – how many players can they grab at the auction? Here’s a close look at how many players Mumbai Indians can buy in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
How Many Players Can Mumbai Indians buy?
Every IPL team can have a maximum of 25 players. MI has already locked in five players, so they can pick up 20 more during the IPL 2025 auction.
All five of their retained players are Indian, so MI has space to bring in eight overseas and 12 Indian players to complete their squad. They’ve got a decent budget, but they’ll need to spend smartly to fill all the gaps.

Who Has Mumbai Indians retained?
MI has kept a strong core, with Jasprit Bumrah leading the way at ₹18 crore. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya follow at ₹16.35 crore each.
Rohit Sharma, who was once their top retention, has been retained for ₹16.30 crore this time. Tilak Varma, who’s been super consistent, has been retained for ₹8 crore.
What’s Next For Mumbai Indians?
With ₹45 crore in the bank and 20 slots to fill, MI has some serious planning to do. They’ve released key players like Ishan Kishan, and Tim David, so rebuilding the squad will be a priority.
They still need to fill all eight overseas slots, so expect them to go after some big international names. Plus, they’ll want to add a solid wicket-keeper and a few young Indian players to balance the squad.
Mumbai Indians Retained Players List
| Player | Retention Spot | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Jasprit Bumrah | 1st | ₹18 crore |
| Suryakumar Yadav | 2nd | ₹16.35 crore |
| Hardik Pandya | 3rd | ₹16.35 crore |
| Rohit Sharma | 4th | ₹16.30 crore |
| Tilak Varma | 5th | ₹8 crore |
Mumbai Indians have got ₹45 crore to spend and 20 slots to fill, so expect some big moves in the auction. With their Indian core already in place, it’s all about finding the right combination to bounce back strong.
