IPL 2026: MI Retain Their Core, Release Vignesh Puthur In Major Shock
The Mumbai Indians: The Mumbai Indians have retained their core group of players ahead of the IPL 2026 auctions, but released one of their rising stars from last season, Vignesh Puthur, on Saturday.
The five-time champions had a whirlwind season last year, making a memorable comeback after losing their first four matches in the tournament. The team even came close to winning a record sixth trophy but was eliminated in the knockout stages after securing a top-four place.
With the retention window closed, MI has retained their key senior players—Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav—while restructuring the remaining team to achieve better balance across different departments.
