Mumbai Indians’ performance in the previous season underscored both their strengths and areas requiring improvement. The team, known for its potent lineup, fell short in 2024, exiting in the Eliminator after a narrow loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. With a solid record of 13 wins in 19 matches across two seasons, Mumbai demonstrated their prowess, particularly in the inaugural season when they secured the title by defeating Delhi Capitals. However, their 2024 playoff exit highlighted the need to address their batting depth and strike a better left-right balance.
Core Retentions for WPL 2025
The Mumbai Indians have retained a mix of experienced internationals and promising local players, preserving their core strengths. Key names on the retention list include New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr, known for her leg-spin and reliable middle-order batting, and West Indies’ Hayley Matthews, who brings all-round versatility with her off-spin and explosive batting. Alongside them, England’s Natalie Sciver-Brunt continues to be a vital part of Mumbai’s setup, while speedster Shabnim Ismail, who joined the squad in 2024, adds a cutting edge to the bowling lineup. The retention of these star players reflects Mumbai’s commitment to fielding a well-rounded side capable of tackling different game scenarios. Harmanpreet Kaur, the seasoned Indian skipper, remains a cornerstone for Mumbai Indians, bringing stability and experience to the batting lineup.
