Mumbai: Mumbai Indians are working hard ahead of the IPL star auction. It is clear that Mumbai have learned from their poor performances last season and are committed to building a better team. Mumbai has released 13 players including franchise legend Kieron Pollard. It also includes five foreign players. With this, Mumbai can spend 20.55 crore in star auction. Jason Behrendorff was also brought into the Mumbai squad through a trade from RCB.

Mumbai is gearing up for the upcoming season by retaining its trusted hitters like Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. The batting lineup will be bolstered with the addition of new sensations Tim David, Tristan Stubbs and Devald Brevis. This time around, the Mumbai Indians are paying close attention to the bowling department, which suffered a setback last season.
Last season, Bumrah was almost isolated in the Mumbai lineup, which lined up with the best pacers of all time. Mumbai will strengthen with the arrival of Archer and Behrendorff, who were absent last season due to a joint injury to Bumrah. Mumbai Indians will definitely be looking to bring a good spinner to the team in the auction.
