MI Players List 2022: Complete Mumbai Indians (MI) Squad & Players List for IPL 2022

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction has come to an end and all 10 squads have been finalized. Saying the bidding event was action-packed would be an understatement as several players went massive under the hammer. At the same time, several notable names didn’t fetch a single bid and went unsold. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians stepped into the auction with an uncanny strategy, which surprised many.

Having retained the likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard, MI had a purse of INR 48 ahead of the event. The Nita Ambani-owned franchise had a specific plan as they didn’t buy a single player in the first couple of rounds. MI’s first buy at the event was a big one as they went all out to reacquire Ishan Kishan’s services.

For the very first time, the side splashed over 10 crore for a player at auction as they signed Kishan for a staggering INR 15.25 crore. Besides Kishan, however, the side didn’t go hard after any big name. In fact, they had a purse of INR 27.85 crore after Day 1, second-biggest for any franchise. Singapore dasher Tim David was high on MI’s wish list as they splashed a whopping INR 8.25 crore to get him on board.

Mumbai Indians splashes INR 8 crore for unavailable Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer was another name, who bagged a massive amount from MI. It must be noted that Archer won’t be playing this season due to fitness issues and will only be available from the next season onwards. Hence, MI looked at the bigger picture. Among the fast bowlers, Jaydev Unadkat, Basil Thampi, Riley Meredith and Tymal Mills were the other additions.

Mayank Markande, Murugan Ashwin and Sanjay Yadav were the inclusions in the spin department. Saying MI’s bowling strength looks fragile won’t be wrong and a lot of responsibilities will be on Jasprit Bumrah’s shoulders.

Meanwhile, Under-19 sensation Dewald Brevis, who’s hailed as AB de Villiers 2.0, bagged INR 3 crore from the franchise. Tilak Varma, Arjun Tendulkar, Mohd Arshad Khan, Anmolpreet Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Rahul Buddhi and Hrithik Shokeen were another uncapped stars to earn contracts from MI.
