There’s always this fear with mega auctions that leave teams with an entirely new look. Well, not with the Mumbai Indians at the WPL 2026 Mega Auction in Delhi, who went on a re-buying spree. 

Amelia Kerr started the homecoming run, as MI battled past a bidding war that saw her price go up from 50 lakhs INR to 3 crore INR, making sure she was brought back into the Blue and Gold. And a similar story then followed with South African pace sensation, Shabnim Ismail, our first-ball six-hitting star, Sajana Sajeevan, the left-arm bamboozler, Saika Ishaque and young all-rounder, Sanskriti Gupta, all making their way back into the Blue and Gold for 2026.

Aussies, Nicola Carey and Milly Illingworth, apart from some young gun Indian names unearthed by MI’s scouting team complete what seems like the perfect mix of the old and the new for the team as they ready up to play as Defending Champions! Let’s give them a loud shoutout, Mumbai-eshtyle, Paltan!! 💙🏆
