IPL 2026 Auction: Salary of Mumbai Indians (MI) players; check out how much Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav earn

IPL 2026 auction in Abu Dhabi has locked in Mumbai Indians’ full 25-man squad, with the five-time champions exhausting almost their entire purse to assemble a blend of high-value stars and smart budget buys. Central to the narrative are headline earners like Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, alongside the headline-grabbing ₹1 crore return of South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock.​

IPL 2026 auction sets up season of high expectations for Mumbai Indians

The IPL 2026 mini auction, staged in mid-December in Abu Dhabi, was defined by record-breaking bids on marquee all-rounders and a strategic push by franchises to complete their squads within a ₹125 crore purse. While Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings dominated chatter with mega-signings, Mumbai Indians’ story was more about consolidation, having already invested heavily in a core of proven match-winners before entering the auction with a modest remaining balance.​

MI entered the auction with much of their budget already committed to retentions like Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar, leaving limited room for big-ticket gambles but ensuring stability in leadership and star power. By the end of proceedings, the franchise had spent ₹124.45 crore of a possible ₹125 crore, leaving just ₹0.55 crore in the kitty, and had filled all 25 slots, including the full quota of eight overseas players, underlining a clear intent to back a settled squad for a serious title tilt.​

A season of high hopes naturally follows for MI, given the experience and pedigree stacked through the line-up. Hardik continues as the captaincy fulcrum, supported by Rohit’s leadership experience, Suryakumar’s X-factor batting, and Bumrah’s unmatched impact with the ball, creating a spine that will carry both tactical responsibility and expectation in IPL 2026.​
