MI IPL 2024: The five times champions Mumbai Indians had a 'see-saw' kind of season which was full of highs and lows, to be honest. Mumbai Indians under Rohit Sharma's captaincy has flourished a lot, we have seen it in the past. The feeble bowling attack this year, however, was the leading point of concern. In this post, we discuss the MI IPL 2024 Squad, Players list, Captain, Coach, and Retention-Released List of Mumbai Indians Squad for IPL 2024.



Only one batsman of MI was able to secure a spot in the top-10 run scorers in IPL 2023 and that was Surya Kumar Yadav(605). Similarly, Piyush Chawla was the only bowler to set a place in the top 10 wicket-takers list this season. These 'average stats' prove that the Mumbai Indians' dominance this season was on the colder side and obviously not what they would have wanted.

They had big names in their pace bowling unit like Jofra Archer and Jason Behrendorff and still Akash Madwal, an uncapped Indian young talent took equal wickets to Behrendorff(14) in just 8 matches he played. The first half of Mumbai Indians was not up to the standards of a 5-time Champions team but they managed to qualify for playoffs with 8 wins in 14 games.



They are having an exceptional squad. It won't be wrong if we say the strongest squad but they looked off-colours this season. Mumbai Indians will definitely be looking forward to couple of good bowling options going forward for the next season.

Like it has been a ritual for MI to lose the first match of the season. They are consistently losing their first match of the season since 2013 and they have set a unique record of losing 11 season opener of IPL in 16 editions to the date. Mumbai Indians started the season with two consecutive loses, the first against RCB and the second against CSK. They only lost 4 in next 12 matches of the league stage. They defeated Lucknow Super Giants in Eliminator Match and lost to Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 to end their journey in IPL 2023.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="mumbai-indians-retention-and-releases">Mumbai Indians Retention and Releases</h2>



Let's talk about the squad composition of Mumbai Indians of 2023. Mumbai have Rohit and Ishan Kishan as openers; Surya Kumar Yadav and Cameron Green at the middle; Tim David and Tilak Verma as the finishers. None of them needs the description of who they are! Undoubtedly the most dangerous and ruthless batting line-up. Where they are lacking is the bowling; have Jasprit Bomrah been fit to play in IPL, this franchise would have lifted the title for record sixth time. 



Before the next season, we might see MI searching for a quality left arm pacer. Yes! that is what they might look for. Altough they have Jason Behrendorff, they might look for a replacement. Chris Jordan was a total failure this year, Arjun Tendulkar was good but not as good as Mumbai wanted, Kumar Kartikeya was expensive, leaking around 9 runs per over, and Akash Madwal was quite impressive and Mumbai will be definitely looking him to be better going forward.



Jofra Archer was off colour for sure. Really looking forward for his and Bomrah's bowling duo ghosting out the opponents in the ground. 



MI might look to release Chris Jordan, Duan Jansen, and Hritik Shaukeen and look for some more promising and prominent options.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="mumbai-indians-ipl-2024-squad">Mumbai Indians IPL 2024 Squad</h2>



We don't see any major changes or swaps in the batting arsenal of Mumbai Indians. Might loose some bowlers and uncapped India players too. They might look for someone like Trend Boult or Arshdeep Singh.

1- Rohit Sharma: He is one the best in his job. As a captain, he has won 5 titles and he is a brilliant opener for sure. 



2- Surya Kumar Yadav- SKY HAS NO LIMITS; Surya has now become the brand on its own even in the international cricket. He is currently world no. 1 T20 batsmsn.



3- Ishan Kishan- This young boy is the future of Mumbai Indians. Most expensive player in the mega auction 2022, Ishan Kishan is a destructive batter who is known for his match changing abilities.



4- Cameron Green- The tall Australian all-rounder Cam Green is perfect number three batsman for MI and one of the most aggressive allrounders. He also has a century in his maiden IPL season. 



5- Tilak Verma- Left handed Tilak has left some outstanding marks in IPL 2023 and looks like he is going to have a bright future in cricket. His intend was all to talk about in this season.



6- Jasprit Bomrah- Jasprit is the best bowler of India in the present scenario and undoubtedly the most important player of Mumbai Indians



Mumbai Indians will be looking to construct a well balanced team around these six key players and hopefully would lift their 6th IPL Title next season.

MI IPL 2024 Squad, Players list, Captain, Coach, Retention, Released List Mumbai Indians Squad IPL 2024, Full Details Here!

IPL 2024: The 39-year-old former Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga has returned home to the five-time IPL winning team Mumbai Indians in the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League. Mumbai Indians has appointed him as the bowling coach in IPL 2024. Malinga will replace former Kiwi fast bowler Shane Bond.



The Mumbai Indians have not yet made a firm decision regarding the tenure of their current bowling coach, Shane Bond, according to a report from the news agency PTI. Bond was hired as MI's bowling coach in 2015 and naturally collaborated with Malinga while he was a member of the team. A source told PTI that Bond's contract with MI is still in effect.



Malinga participated in 139 games for Mumbai and recorded 195 wickets at a 7.12 economy rate. He has taken the sixth-most wickets in this league. He is the joint sixth highest wicket taker in this league.



Malinga had previously served as the team's mentor in 2018. He made a comeback a year later, co-leading the team's bowling attack with Jasprit Bumrah, and played a key role in making the team champion. After retiring in 2021, he served as the Rajasthan Royals' fast bowling coach in 2022.



Significantly, Lasith Malinga had a very prosperous career with the Mumbai Indians. He led the team to five championships, includes four IPL championships (2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019) and Champions League T20 in 2011.



Malinga took over as the fast bowling coach for Rajasthan Royals in 2022 after quitting cricket in 2021. The Rajasthan team competed in the finals in 2022. The team, however, was unable to even make the playoffs this season (IPL 2023) and placed fifth overall. For bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer, it would be significant if Malinga were to become Mumbai's bowling coach. Additionally, bowlers like Arjun Tendulkar and Akash Madhwal will be a huge help.

IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians roped in Lasith Malinga as bowling?Coach

ipl-2024-mumbai-indians-roped-in-lasith-malinga-as-bowling-coach

The crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground has always been under the scanner, especially when the Indian team plays. During the last Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the fans in Sydney didn't go easy on the Indian players as they made life tough for them. 
During the last Test between India and Australia, Indian players in Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were at the receiving end of racial slurs. The players of the team were abused by the fans, and it turned out to be a big controversy, with Sydney Cricket management banning the particular section of the ground. 
A similar kind of thing unfolded on Day 1 of the ongoing match between India and Australia. Again, a particular section of the crowd came under the radar. The fans were abusing Indian fans in the stadium as they were seen chanting, "Where is your visa?". The video went viral on the internet with many lashing out at fans. 
The people at the Sydney Cricket Ground were also seen booing Indian players as well. They had a go at Virat Kohli and then later Jasprit Bumrah, who was involved in a massive fight with Sam Konstas during the last over of Day 1 of the ongoing Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. 
Coming to the match, Australia started the last day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on a dominating note. The visitors carried their good form and put India under massive pressure at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. The start with the bat didn't go the way India would've wanted as both the openers, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal, were back early. Shubman Gill, who replaced Rohit Sharma, played a decent hand of 20 runs off 64 balls with two boundaries. 
He, along with Virat Kohli (17), added 40 runs for the third wicket. But both the batters couldn't bat for long as India was left tottering at 72 for four. Rishabh Pant (40) batted with great grit and looked solid before he yet again perished to a wild shot. Ravindra Jadeja (26), too, had a start, but he too couldn't get going for long as India was reduced to 148/8. Captain Jasprit Bumrah (22) hit some shots in the end and took the team to a total of 185. 
Australia, in response, lost Usman Khawaja as Jasprit Bumrah bagged his 31st wicket of the series. At stumps, Australia was 9 for one with 176 runs behind.

Team India is currently participating in the five-match 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series on Australian soil versus the Mighty Australians. The series is currently led by the Kangaroos, who have a lead of 2-1. 
While the Indians kicked off the BGT series on a positive note, securing a comfortable victory in the Perth Test-Match, they have not been able to replicate that success in the remaining matches of the series. They suffered embarrassing defeats in the Adelaide and Melbourne Test-Matches while the Gabba Test-Match was a rain affected one and ended in a draw. 
The Rohit Sharma-led team fell to a shambolic 184 run defeat verus Pat Cummins and his men in the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test-Match and this defeat has made the Men in Blue's chances of qualifying for the WTC Final even more difficult. 
Actually, besides the Indian batters even the bowlers did not live upto expectations except Bumrah. While the Vice-Captain of the Team performed exceptionally well but he turned out to be the lone-warrior with the ball as he didn't get the required support from the other bowlers. 
In the first inning of the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test-Match, the 29-year-old dismissed four Aussie batters before picking up a fifer in the 2nd inning. This way, he took a total of nine wickets in that match. 
<h2>The other Indian bowlers are not able to support Jasprit Bumrah</h2>
Statistics show that the performance of Bumrah in the history of the World Test Championship (WTC) have been absolutely phenomenal. This fast bowler has trapped many bowlers with his variations and has used countless number of tricks up his sleeve to decieve them but he is just not able to get the required support from the other end. 
In 35 WTC matches, the Indian Vice-Captain has dismissed 155 batters at a remarkable economy of 2.80 and an amazing average of 18.56. He has also dismissed those 155 batters with a strike rate of 39.78.
<h2>Such has been the performance of Jasprit Bumrah in the World Test Championship</h2>
In the 35 matches of the World Test Championship, Jasprit Bumrah has achieved the feat of taking 5 wickets in an innings 10 times. Apart from this, he has taken 4 wickets in an innings 7 times. Cricket experts believe that Jasprit Bumrah did not get the support of other Indian bowlers and that's the reason why the Men in Blue have struggled to dominate the Aussies. 
If Jasprit Bumrah had got the support of other bowlers, then perhaps the path to the World Test Championship would have been easier for the Indian team, but this did not happen. Let us tell you that in the current series against Australia, Jasprit Bumrah has taken 31 wickets at an average of 12.74.

Jasprit Bumrah of India has performed in an exceptional manner in the World Test Championship (WTC) but despite his remarkable displays with the ball, Team India has struggled to capitalise.

Jasprit Bumrah has amazing stats in the WTC with the ball but still Team India is not able to perform well

The fifth and final test between India and Australia started on Friday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The first day has completed, but the biggest story is the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma. The 37-year-old opted to sit out for the final test, and Jasprit Bumrah led in his absence.
His decision has raised concerns over his future in the Indian test team as he is also going through a very bad phase with the bat. However, according to some media reports, Rohit has played his last test for India at the MCG and might not return in white. The report from Indian Express indicates that selectors are looking beyond Rohit in test cricket.
There are chances that the Indian captain might announce his retirement after the ongoing SCG test. If it happens, India need someone to bat at the top or replace him. Here we will talk about three possible replacements for Rohit Sharma in tests.
<h2>Three Players who can replace Rohit Sharma in whites if he retires after the SCG test</h2>
1. Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill started as an opener in tests but shifted to no. 3 after India dropped Cheteshwar Pujara. But his numbers at no. 3 haven't done justice to his decision. India might need someone solid at the top, and Gill presents that technique. He can shift to the top of the order if Rohit retires from tests. He will give India a right-hand and left-hand option at the top with Yashasvi Jaiswal.
2. Abhimanyu Easwaran
Just like many Indian stars, Abhimanyu Easwaran is another name that has been knocking on the door of the Indian test side for the last couple of years now. He has been included in the squad many times but is still looking to get his maiden cap. He is a prolific scorer at the domestic level and is a gifted top-order batter. If given a chance, he can be a solid top-order batter. India can groom him into a good option to replace Rohit Sharma.
3. Nitish Kumar Reddy
This could be an out-of-the-box choice, but Nitish Kumar Reddy has certainly shown great composure for India in the ongoing BGT series. He has scored 294 runs at an average of 42 and is the third highest scorer in the series. He has shown that he has good technique to handle the bounce and pace. Currently, Reddy batting at no. 8 is not ideal for a talented batter like him. Just like Sam Konstas for Australia, he can be a fearless top-order batter if given a chance.

Rohit Sharma was dropped from the playing XI for the fifth and final test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

While all the attention has been going towards Rohit Sharma, the retirement of Virat Kohli might be closer than expected. The reports in Indian Express and PTI have suggested that time is ticking for the senior India batter in the longest format of the game. 
Rohit Sharma getting dropped from the Indian XI for the Sydney Test meant that the captain is no longer in the scheme of things in Tests. However, the report in Indian Express stated that Virat Kohli too might be at the helm of tough things when India is set to undergo transition. 
<h2>Selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar will be sitting with Virat Kohli after the ongoing Sydney Test to discuss his future</h2>
It is learned that the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar will be sitting with Virat Kohli after the ongoing Sydney Test to discuss his future. The premier batter has also been going through a rough patch of form and has struggled to score runs, getting out in similar fashion again and again to the balls outside off. 
In the other section of news, reported by PTI, it is learned that Virat Kohli's lean patch of form is making it very difficult for the Ajit Agarkar-led national selection committee to pick him for the England series. India will be playing a five-match series in England later this year, which will mark the new WTC cycle. 
The reports claimed that Virat Kohli had already made the decision to retire at the Oval after the fifth Test against England. However, his ambitions are all set to face a massive setback. This means that the premier batter might be told that he is no longer in plans for the next cycle of the World Test Championship. 
It is also learned that the only senior who will be in plans for the next cycle of the World Test Championship is Ravindra Jadeja. The all-rounder has proved his worth again and again, and there is no chance of removing him from the Test team any time soon as selectors believe there is not much better than him at the moment. 
Coming to Virat Kohli, the India batter has struggled to get going in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The right-hander hit a solid century in the first match at the Perth, and after that, things have been quite tough for him. The premier batter has been getting out to balls outside off.
Virat Kohli faced the same fate in the ongoing Sydney Test. He got out to Scott Boland as he yet again poked at the ball outside off. The batter will have another opportunity in the next innings, and it's fair to say if he fails to get going in the next innings, then it might be curtains for him in the longest format of the game.

Clouds looming over Virat Kohli! Batter's retirement date gets finalised

India captain Rohit Sharma possibly has played the last match of his career in Test cricket. As per the reports in Indian Express, it is learned that the exit door has been shown to the skipper related to his future in the longest format of the game. 
The reports added that Indian selectors have communicated to Rohit Sharma that they are no longer seeing him on the roadmap for the Tests beyond the Australia series. This means that the Test match in Melbourne was his last match in the longest format of the game. The next WTC cycle for India begins from England tour later this year. 
India captain Rohit Sharma was dropped from the team for the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The last game of the series between the teams is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney and it no doubt will be an extremely crucial game for the team. 
Rohit Sharma was dropped amid his poor returns with the bat in the series. The India captain, since the home Test series against Bangladesh, has been struggling to get going, and his poor form continued even in Australia as he failed with bat both in the middle order as well as an opener. 
<h2>Rohit Sharma was replaced by Shubman Gill in the XI and Jasprit Bumrah was given the leadership role</h2>
Rohit Sharma was replaced by Shubman Gill in the XI and Jasprit Bumrah was given the leadership role. However, a captain getting dropped surely is a signal that the future isn't good for him as there are high chances that he might not be in the scheme of things going into the next World Test Championship Cycle. 
This will be a massive blow personally for Rohit Sharma. With him being at the fag end of his career, it would be very tough for him now to make a comeback into the Indian Test team. The youngsters too have been performing well, and it will not be great news for the team. 
As a leader too, Rohit Sharma hasn't looked great. It was only under his leadership that India lost the home Test series against New Zealand. Even in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, he hasn't looked shared. It remains to be seen what will be his future now.
