Mumbai Indians made strategic moves at the IPL 2025 auction, splashing Rs 12.5 crore to secure Trent Boult's return. Apart from Boult and Mitchell Santner, their overseas picks are not necessarily starters in the IPL or have played the league altogether.

MI would like put behind the behind the disappointment of a bottom place finish in IPL 2024 and redeem themselves next season. In view of that, the Ambanis made some hard purchases on Day 2 of the IPL Mega auction. MI who weren't very active on Day 1 of the IPL mega auction were busy making some valuable purchases to add stealth to their squad.

Mumbai Indians have roped back New Zealand fast-bowler Trent Boult, who was with the squad earlier. MI have also brought Ishan Kishan's replacement wicketkeeper at the IPL 2025 mega auction, while also roping in England all-rounder Will Jacks.
