4. Jasprit Bumrah
Last season too, he took 20 wickets in 13 matches.
Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling has consistency and accuracy, a combination that is rarely seen. After joining Mumbai Indians, the first few seasons were not good for Bumrah, but it cannot be denied that MI laid the foundation for him to become the world’s top bowler.

5. Nehal Vadhera
Nehal Wadhera, who has so far scored 350 runs in 20 matches for Mumbai.
According to the retention rules, every team will have to retain at least one uncapped player in IPL 2025. This position can be taken by Nehal Wadhera, who has so far scored 350 runs in 20 matches for Mumbai. Wadhera could not play many matches last season, but his classic shots are proof that he is a world-class batsman. MI should try to prepare Wadhera as a future superstar player.
