For IPL 2025, all 10 franchises have made a very strong and appreciable squad for the upcoming season. The auction took place on the 24th and 25th of this month in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where all the coaching staff and owners sat to grab the strong players for their franchises.
Meanwhile, the star Indian commentator Aakash Chopra who is known for his great analysing sense feels that Mumbai Indians is one such team that will come out as the most explosive side when it comes to batting. He predicted that Mumbai Indians could post big total in every match of the next season.
Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya, the four batters retained by Mumbai Indians, are all capable of scoring big. With the inclusion of Will Jacks, Naman Dhir, and Ryan Rickelton, the five-time champions have built a strong squad.
While talking about the batting lineup of Mumbai Indians, Aakash Chopra said, “They have the best batting order, and they can be really dominating at home. They can post 230-240 in every match. They can open with Rohit Sharma and select one from Will Jacks or Ryan Rickelton. Two XIs can be made. If Ryan Rickelton plays, Mitchell Santner will be benched, and vice versa. Then Robin Minz will don the wicket-keeping gloves.”
“I want Rohit and Will Jacks to open the batting and then keep Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya. You would also need Naman Dhir in the middle order. Robin Minz and Mitchell Santner will follow him. Their batting order is dangerous, exciting, explosive, and entertaining,” he added.
