Suryakumar Yadav to Play for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025

Suryakumar was signed by the Mumbai Indians (MI) for ₹16.35 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. He was retained as the second highest-paid cricketer by the team. Jasprit Bumrah was the highest-paid cricketer for the Mumbai-based franchise after being retained for a whopping ₹18 crore.

Mumbai Indians had a disappointing IPL 2024 season, finishing last in the points table. The team managed to win only four out of their 14 league-stage matches. MI has a strong IPL history, having won the title five times in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020, with Rohit Sharma as captain on each occasion.
