Mumbai Indians Team Squad IPL 2023: Captain, Retained, and Released Players List

It’s New Year, and of course, cricket lovers are all set to welcome a new season of IPL in just a few months. The 16th season of IPL will probably take place in mid-March, and before the teams proceed further, BCCI has asked teams to announce their retains and releases for the year ahead of the mini-auction.
Before the 15th edition of IPL in 2022, there was a mega auction in which each team retained three to five players and let remaining all of the teams go into the auction. There were huge changes last year, and Mumbai Indians went all in for Ishan Kishan back then. In this mini-auction, the team has tried to play a little safe.

Now let’s see the Mumbai Indians team 2023 auction overview in this article.

Mumbai Indians Team Players List 2023

Before going into the mini-auction, Mumbai Indians ensured they had 15 players from the previous year. Recently they got Jason Behrendoff from RCB as a part of the exchange, and along with him, now there are a total of 16 players on the team.

The team has good batters and bowlers as well, which makes them more dangerous than ever. Mumbai Indians Team Captain in 2023 would be Rohit Sharma, as usual. He, indeed, is one of the best players that Mumbai Indians got, and there has been no looking back since then.

The team went on to win five IPL cups and became one of the most powerful franchises in IPL history. Despite an average performance last year, Mumbai Indians are carrying huge expectations for next year.

Mumbai Indians are one such team that is known to spend their purse amount wisely always. Last year, their going for Ishan Kishan at such a high price was a bit shock; however, they are also known as the team that goes above and beyond to secure quality players.

Right now, Mumbai Indians are aiming for their 6th title, and we have to wait and see what happens. Losing one of the important pillars of their team- Hardik Pandya, last year was one of the biggest letdowns for the team. However, they have built a pretty strong team now.

Their present team looks quite good on paper. So, let’s hope for the best.
