IPL 2026: Mumbai Indians Hope For A Bright Start Against KKR As They Chase Sixth Title (Preview)
Mumbai Indians, who jointly hold the record with Chennai Super Kings as the most successful team of IPL, won their fifth title five years back in 2020 and have struggled to impose themselves and reach the final since then. They underwent a period of transition before recovering some ground and making it to the Playoffs in IPL 2025 after finishing fourth at the end of the first stage. However, they went down to the Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2, thus ending another season without the title.
For the 2026 season, the Reliance Industries-owned franchise has maintained its core by retaining skipper Hardik Pandya, former captain Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. They further strengthened their squad by bringing back New Zealand pacer Trent Boult and Mumbai all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Quinton de Kock also returns after playing for them from 2019 to 2021, and the 33-year-old is likely to partner Rohit Sharma as an opener.
