Entering the IPL 2026 auction with a paltry Rs 2.75 crore, Mumbai Indians focused entirely on budget-friendly buys and specific role fulfillment, successfully bringing back a fan favourite and adding uncapped Indian talent.
The biggest steal of the auction for MI was the return of the experienced South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock at his base price of Rs 1 crore. His inclusion provides a world-class back-up and opening option, adding immense flexibility to the playing XI. The remaining picks were uncapped Indian players, strengthening the bench.
