- Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indian bid on a total of 18 players in the mega auction of IPL 2025. But these three players are considered the weakest link of the team…
Mumbai Indians :
In the mega auction held before IPL 2025 , Mumbai Indian bet on 18 players. Three names in this were of Chennai Super Kings players. Deepak Chahar , Mitchell Santner and Karn Sharma will be with MI this time .
Apart from this, the biggest deal for the franchise was that of Trent Bolt . After Bolt, Mumbai Indians have built a strong team by betting on Will Jacks . But despite this, there are three players in the team who can prove to be the weak link of this core team. Let’s take a look at these three players..
1. Arjun Tendulkar
Mumbai Indians bought Arjun Tendulkar , who remained unsold twice, at the end of the second day of the mega auction at a base price of 30 lakhs. This deal may prove to be costly for the team in the future because Arjun’s current form and his IPL career have not been anything special. Arjun has taken only 3 wickets in 5 IPL matches.
2. Ryan Riccolton
South African batsman Ryan Rickelton was bought by Mumbai Indians for Rs 1 crore. If we look at MI’s squad, Ryan Rickelton’s pick is weakening the team because this batsman has not played a single match yet. However, this batsman has batted at a strike rate of 155.76 in South Africa’s T20 league.
3. Raj Bawa
19-year-old young cricketer Raj Bawa will also be seen in the Mumbai Indians camp in IPL 2025. The franchise added all-rounder Raj Angad Baba to its team at a base price of Rs 30 lakh. However, buying this player can also prove to be a loss-making deal for Mumbai Indians.
