We are #OneFamily. And we are ready to take the world by storm.

After nearly three hours of bidding, one serious paddle war and three tactical snap-ups at the base price, Mumbai Indians’ batch of 2025 is here. While we retained our core team and were going into this auction with just four slots to fill, there wasn’t a shortage of drama as the day went about. Nadine de Klerk, the South African star from their recent T20 World Cup campaign, was an absolute steal buy, coming in at her base price of 30 lakhs INR.

Kamalini G, the 16-year-old wicket-keeper from Tamil Nadu, a name most people wouldn’t have heard of, was probably the story of the evening. She came in the uncapped players set and triggered off a bidding battle between the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals, lifting her price up from 10 lakhs to a massive 1.6cr INR. Yup, we won the battle, and she is coming into the Blue and Gold!

We capped it then up with two all-rounders in Sanskriti Gupta and Akshita Maheshwari, who apart from some new energy, also bring in a lot of promise with both bat and ball. Under the tutelage of our coaches, they’re in for one steep learning curve. Right, so there we go, once again, Paltan, let’s welcome them into our fold..
