Mumbai Indians Player Retentions
The Mumbai Indians (MI) have made significant decisions as they head into the inaugural Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 mega auction. Retaining their core, the MI franchise aims to maintain a competitive edge with crucial players like Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt.
Significant Player Retentions
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who recently led India to a World Cup title, remains a pivotal figure. With her leadership, MI aims to replicate past successes in the upcoming season. Both Nat Sciver-Brunt and Hayley Matthews have also been retained due to their exceptional performances in previous seasons.
Retention Details and Financials
| Player | Price Tag (INR) |
|---|
| Nat Sciver-Brunt | 3.5 crore |
| Harmanpreet Kaur | 2.5 crore |
| Hayley Matthews | 1.75 crore |
| Amanjot Kaur | 1 crore |
| G Kamalini | 50 Lakhs |
MI’s total retention spending amounts to INR 9.25 crore, leaving them with INR 5.75 crore for further squad enhancements as they aim to build a well-rounded team for the upcoming season.
Future Prospects
Moreover, G Kamalini, a promising 17-year-old wicket-keeper, has sparked interest with her potential, acquired for INR 1.6 crore at the previous mini auction.
With maximum retention utilized, MI will not use the Right to Match (RTM) card, positioning them strategically for the auction. Fans eagerly await how these decisions will impact MI’s journey in WPL 2026.
