Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indians have retained five players in the IPL mega auction. These include Jaspreet Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma. In such a situation, they must have started planning for the mega auction. Many great players are going to come in this mega auction. One of these players will also come in the auction, whom Mumbai had left in 2022. In such a situation, the team would like to add that player to their team again. Who is this player, let us know first.
Mumbai Indians will target this bowler in the mega auction of IPL 2025
Let us tell you that the performance of Mumbai Indians has been poor in the last three years. The team won the last title in 2020. After this, the performance of the team was average in the next season. Then in the 2022 mega auction, the team released many players from its team.
The name of Kiwi star bowler Trent Boult is also included in this. After releasing Boult, the performance of the team declined. Because the pair of Boult and Bumrah was a hit and together they won many big matches for the franchise, which benefited the team in winning the title.
Mumbai would like to take Trent Boult
However, Mumbai Indians released Trent Boult in 2022, despite this, there was no significant improvement in the performance of the team, but there was a decline in the performance of the team. But now Mumbai has a chance to get Trent Boult again. Because Rajasthan Royals have not retained Trent Boult.
In such a situation, his participation in the auction is certain. At the same time, if Mumbai shows interest in taking this old bowler, then do not be surprised. Because it is clear that Bolt’s arrival in Mumbai will strengthen the team’s bowling, so they will definitely want to include him.
Bolt performed brilliantly in IPL
If we look at Bolt’s performance in IPL 2024, he was one of the 3 bowlers of RR who took more than 15 wickets. Bolt has taken 16 wickets this season at an average of 27.68 and an economy rate of 8.30. Also, if we look at his overall performance, he has taken 121 wickets in 104 matches of IPL.
