MI Released Players 2026: Players Mumbai Indians Might Release Ahead of IPL 2026

Mumbai Indians were knocked out of IPL 2025 by a spirited Punjab Kings led by an on-fire Shreyas Iyer, marking a fifth year without a title for the most successful team in IPL and matching their longest trophy-less drought since the five years of the competition’s history.

The five-time champions will be eager to bounce back next season, and with Hardik still leading the side, they’ll likely look to make some key changes in the squad to turn things around.

Mumbai Indians List of players that the team might release for IPL 2026:

Will Jacks

During last year’s mega auction, the Mumbai Indians showed a lot of faith in Will Jacks by spending ₹5.25 crore on him. He became part of Mumbai’s squad. But this decision has not been as beneficial this season. Although Mumbai was knocked out of IPL 2025, if we look at Will Jacks’ performance this season, he has scored only 233 runs in 13 matches with just 1 half-century. Also, as an all-rounder, he hasn’t made much impact.

Corbin Bosch

South African fast bowler Corbin Bosch was not picked by any franchise during the mega auction, but Mumbai Indians later included him as a replacement in their squad. Surprisingly, the franchise has not given him many opportunities. Bosch has played only 2 matches this season and his bowling has been disappointing, with just 1 wicket. Also, since he is not regularly included in the playing XI, it is likely that Mumbai may release him before next season.

Satyanarayana Raju

Andhra pacer Satyanarayana Raju was included in the Mumbai Indians starting lineup against Chennai Super Kings in their Indian Premier League 2025 match on Sunday. Raju has not been able to make a significant impact with the ball. He played only one match and took a single wicket. This suggests that Mumbai may release Raju before the next season.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s IPL journey has been disappointing, not only this season but also in previous seasons. That’s why he was not bought by any team in last year’s mega auction. Mumbai later signed him as a replacement for ₹2 crore. However, the team has not shown much faith in him as he has played only 1 match this season. This suggests that Mumbai may release Mujeeb before the next season.

Reece Topley

English fast bowler Reece Topley has played a single match for Mumbai this season. Although Mumbai bought him for ₹75 lakh in last year’s mega auction, with the presence of Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, and Jasprit Bumrah, it has been difficult for Topley to find a place in the playing XI. Therefore, it is expected that Mumbai may release him before the next season.
