Mumbai Indians will have to take some tough calls before IPL 2026. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three bold decisions Mumbai Indians could take before the next season.
1) Release Deepak Chahar
MI needs to fund next year’s signings. Deepak Chahar is one big-money signing they can release to free up the purse. Since players like Mohammed Shami could be available on the market, MI might take this bold decision.
2) Changing captaincy is one of the bold decisions Mumbai Indians can take
Some of the decisions by Hardik Pandya have been poor. Also, the team needs more from him as an all-rounder. With the India T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav on the side, the management could consider handing over the reins. There would be a lot of criticism again, but it will help MI in the long run.
3) Try to trade someone like Ravi Bishnoi or Rahul Chahar
Mumbai Indians are desperate for a solid Indian spinner. Not many options are available on the market. That said, MI uses the trade window well. Hence, they could plan for someone like Bishnoi or Chahar, although it could be risky to have them in their current poor form.
