IPL 2025: 3 in-form MI players who can help them win IPL 2025
Follow UsThese Mumbai Indians players are going to be a key factor for IPL 2025
Mumbai Indians (MI) are coming to IPL 2025 with a desire to end their five-year IPL title drought. The five-time IPL champions have put together a good side with all bases covered.
Among the overseas talent, these three talents have been doing well and will be hoping to come into the 2025 edition of the IPL with a good touch.
TRENT BOULT
Trent Boult has had a terrific calendar year playing various T20 tournaments across the world. The left pacer did well for the other MI franchises, picking up 16 wickets for MI Emirates in ILT20 2024, nine wickets for MI New York in MLC 2024, and four wickets in the first five games at a good economy of 7.38 for MI Cape Town in the ongoing SA20.
He will be expected to maintain a similar form coming into IPL 2025, as he will be playing a massive role in the powerplay (1-6 overs), sharing the new ball with Deepak Chahar and Jasprit Bumrah.
MITCHELL SANTNER
Mitchell Santner has been doing well across formats, taking wickets in both red and white ball. The lead spinner of New Zealand recently got full-time captaincy to lead New Zealand in T20 internationals.
He had a couple of tournaments for New Zealand picking 15 wickets since 2024 and taking seven wickets for Northern SuperChargers in the Hundred 2024. He had a good tour of India in October 2024 taking 13 wickets in the Pune Test match.
As he will be leading the spin bowling attack for the Mumbai Indians, Santner will be expected to maintain good form heading into IPL 2025.
BEVON JACOBS
Bevon Jacobs was the most unexpected signing in the 2025 IPL Auction. Mumbai Indians signed the 22-year-old batter based on just the limited T20 experience for Auckland Aces in Super Smash.
Post signing with the Mumbai franchise, he scored 147 runs in four innings at a strike rate of 152 with two fifties in the ongoing Super Smash 2025. If he comes to the IPL with a similar form, he is going to be MI's biggest x-factor as none of the Indian bowlers in IPL have ever bowled to him nor have an idea of their approach.
