Mumbai Indians, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, experienced their best days. In 2013, the management handed captaincy to 25-year-old Rohit Sharma, and in his first season, as a leader, Rohit impressed the management and supporters with his leadership skills by winning a maiden title for the team. Today, after fifteen seasons of the IPL, MI is the most successful franchise in the league winning record 5 titles. But in the last two years, supporters have also witnessed a slump in the team’s performance.

In the fifteenth edition of the Indian Premier League, MI produced their lowest performance in the league. Out of 14 matches of the 2022 IPL, the team lost 10 and won just 4. In the last season, the 5-times Champions also registered an embarrassing record of losing 8 consecutive matches in the competition.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With big names such as Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Tim David, MI fans were hoping for a brilliant show from the 5-time champions. In the last auction, the franchise also roped in Jofra Archer at a hefty price of INR Rs.8 crore, but the Barbadian-born English cricketer was only available from the 2023 season. After facing disappointments in a couple of seasons, this time, Mumbai Indians will try to get back in vogue by freeing inconsistent players.

Let us have a look at the 5 players Mumbai Indians might release ahead of the auction:

Mumbai Indians are known for producing big names. In the last few years, players such as Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, and Jasprit Bumrah found their spot in the national team with the help of their stellar displays for MI. This year, MI invested INR Rs.60 lakhs in pacer Basil Thampi to vitalise the bowling line-up.

For the right-arm fast bowler, it was a perfect opportunity to shine with some impressive show with the ball, but his performance in the matches of the tournament turned out to be a disaster. Basil in 5 appearances spent runs at an expensive economy rate of 9.50 and took just 5 wickets.

In the past, we have seen MI nurturing talents with top-notch performances, but the disappointing bowling figures of Basil won’t convince the franchise to hold him for the sixteenth season.&nbsp;

In the last auction, MI showed faith in Jamaican cricketer Fabian Allen. The West Indies allrounder was bought by the franchise to fill the shoes of Hardik Pandya but due to team combination issues, he got a chance to appear for the team once only

Playing the debut match for his new team MI, he performed miserably by scoring just 8 runs with the bat. The bowling allrounder also failed with the ball as he delivered an expensive spell by conceding 46 runs in 4 overs with just one wicket.

Before the upcoming auction in December, it’s unlikely for MI to include him in the list of players to be retained for the 16th season.

The left-arm fast bowler is a known name in the local English T20 league. Playing for Sussex in T20 Blast, he has played an important role in the success of the team. It was his records for Sussex that helped him to make a place in the Mumbai Indians squad for 2022.

In the auction, MI acquired him at Rs.1.5 crore. Known for lethal fast bowling, Mills became a part of playing 11 in 6 games, but the English pacer failed to deliver his best with the ball. In six matches, he was able to pick up only 5 wickets with an expensive economy of 11.18. During the tournament, the speedster also got ruled out of the tournament due to an ankle injury.

With the record of disastrous performance with the ball,injury-prone IPL season, and the arrival of Jofra Archer, it’s likely for Mumbai Indians to release him before the auction.

Mayank Markande created headlines in 2018 with his leg-spin bowling. Looking at his past history with MI, the franchise again gave him a chance to show his talent for the team, but the 24-year-old spinner was unsuccessful in replicating his old performances.

In the 2022 edition of the league, the youngster spent most of his time on the bench due to the rise in the ranks of Murugan Ashwin and Hrithik Shokeen. The team provided him a chance to appear in the last two matches of their season and he picked up a wicket while conceding runs at the economy of 8.14.

For the next season, MI will look to make way for some other player by freeing him. Earlier this year, MI bought the leggie for just Rs. 65 lakh on the leggie to make him a part of their campaign in 2022.

After having a 12-year-old IPL career, Jaydev Unadkat, in 2022, was acquired by Mumbai Indians at Rs.1.3 crore. In 2018, Unadkat attracted a whopping Rs. 11.5 crore from Rajasthan Royals. Looking at his vast IPL experience, the owners of MI and the team management made him a part of the squad, but his disappointing show with the ball contributed to the team’s poor performance in the season.

Playing in 6 matches of the season, Unadkat was ineffective with the ball as the pacer bagged just 5 wickets and gave runs at the economy of 9.50. In the crucial match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Unadkat was given the responsibility to defend 17 runs in the last over, but the pacer failed to hold his nerves as MS Dhoni smashed three boundaries to seal the win for Chennai Super Kings.

After taking note of Unadkat’s indisciplined bowling in the last edition, MI, ahead of the auction, might surely look him to release.
