IPL 2024: Best Predicted Playing XI of Mumbai Indians (MI) after mini auction

Mumbai Indians (MI) will play under their new skipper Hardik Pandya in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). In the last three seasons, Mumbai didn’t look confident under Rohit Sharma following which the MI team management made the stern decision to sack their veteran player who won five trophies for them as a skipper.

The franchise traded Pandya for INR 15 crore from Gujarat Titans (GT), to reserve his services for the upcoming IPL season. Talking about their buys at the 2024 auction in Dubai, the MI-based outlet picked up eight players for a total sum of INR 16.70 crore.

Gerald Coetzee, Dilshan Madushanka, and Mohammad Nabi were some renowned names who were snapped up by the five-time IPL champions. After the blockbuster business event in Dubai, MI have formed a 25-member team. Watching their entire squad, let’s pick up players who will make their best XI for the upcoming tournament.

Here is the best playing XI of MI after the 2024 IPL auction

1. Rohit Sharma 

Rohit Sharma won’t be seen as a skipper in the cash-rich league after 11 years. The veteran looked completely off-colour in the last two seasons and he will have to be among the runs in the 2024 edition to remain active in the league for the next few years. The 36-year-old has played a lot of cricket for MI but his ordinary performance has shaken the team’s confidence in him.

He will have to exude confidence as an opener in the Mumbai jersey in the 2024 IPL instalment. After witnessing his exceptional performance in the 2023 World Cup, Rohit might feature in India’s 2024 T20 World Cup team. Before the marquee international event, he will also look to have a great time with his bat.
