Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26: Mum-Bhais set to sizzle with bat and ball

The domestic cricket extravaganza continues with a few of our Mum-bhais set to feature in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26.

With the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy done and dusted, the spotlight will fall to the longer format of the game, with the boys in Blue and Gold eager to build on their 2024-25 exploits. 

Well, for one, ask Lord Shardul, for he registered an explosive 28-ball 73 against Nagaland and also led the Mumbai team. 🤘

Rohit and Surya will also take the field for Mumbai, albeit for two games each. While आपल्या SKY will look to bring his 360* batting exhibition to the fold, HITMAN marks his comeback to the tournament for the first time since 2018.

Naman Dhir & Raghu Sharma, who scalped 14 wickets in eight matches last season, will look to take Punjab one step further in the knockouts after their quarter-final loss to Maharashtra.

Meanwhile, Kung Fu Pandya, who has three half-centuries in his last five T20 innings (including 77* in the SMAT game against Punjab), is poised to play an influential role for Baroda, who are aiming to lift their maiden trophy. 😎

Lastly, we’ll see Robin Minz represent reigning SMAT champions Jharkhand in the upcoming 50-over tourney. The youngster, with 166 runs in the competition, will be eager to showcase the MI mentality on the field and write a new chapter in his growing career.

Here are the Mumbai Indians’ players participating in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 season.
