Players MI can buy for IPL 2025 main event
Mumbai currently needs a finisher who can support Hardik Pandya, so they can look towards Shimron Hetmyer or David Miller. Talking about bowlers, they can go towards Lockie Ferguson. At the same time, they also need another opener along with Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, the franchise can look towards Jos Buttler, Phil Salt or Devon Conway.
Talking about the option of RTM, 24-year-old right-handed batsman Naman Dheer played for Mumbai Indians in the last season of IPL and got a chance to play in 7 matches. Naman likes to bat at a fast pace and keeping the future in mind, the MI team management can make Naman a part of their team again by using RTM. Shreyas Gopal Shreyas Gopal remains in the news for his brilliant all-round performance in domestic cricket. Mumbai will not have to spend much money to buy Kumar Karthikeya in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He has also performed well in this season of Ranji Trophy, which the Mumbai franchise must have kept in mind.
