MI's strength increases before IPL 2025, entry of experienced in the team
Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians have made a big bet. To change the fortunes of the team this season, former Sri Lankan captain Mehla Jayawardene has entered the team. Jayawardene has been appointed as the head coach. Earlier he was with the team from 2017 to 2022. Mumbai's performance last season was very disappointing and the team failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Entry into Jayawardene's team
Before the start of IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians have taken a big step. Former Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene, who was with the team from 2017 to 2022, has re-entered the team. Jayawardene has been appointed as the head coach. Mumbai has taken this decision in view of the poor performance of the team in the last season. The team's performance under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya in IPL 2024 was very disappointing. Mumbai team finished the tournament at the lowest position. Under the leadership of Hardik, the team won only 4 out of 14 matches played while the team had to face defeat in 10 matches.
Mumbai became champion three times
Mahela Jayawardene had earlier captained the team from 2017 to 2022. Under the leadership of Jayawardene, Mumbai won the IPL title thrice. In the year 2017, Mumbai won the title by defeating Rising Pune Supergiants. At the same time, in 2019, under the supervision of Jayawardene, the team won the IPL trophy by defeating Chennai Super Kings in the final. In 2020, Mumbai, led by the Sri Lankan legend, defeated Delhi Capitals to win the IPL trophy for the fifth time.
Mumbai would like to perform brilliantly
Mumbai Indians team wants to perform well in IPL 2025. The team last won the IPL trophy in the year 2020. After this, the team's performance in the last four years has not been anything special. In the 17th season of the Indian Premier League, the team took the captaincy from Rohit Sharma and handed it over to Hardik Pandya. However, even under the leadership of Hardik, the team failed in the tournament. It remains to be seen which players Mumbai retains before the mega auction. It is believed that this time Rohit Sharma may leave Mumbai and be seen in the auction.
