Squad complete. Vibes immaculate. Let’s get our vocal cords tuned for the iconic Mumbai Mumbaiiiiiiiii chants, Paltan! 💙

We wrapped up the IPL 2026 auction in style, snapping up five players to complete a squad that’s brimming with balance, belief and big-match energy. And what better way to begin the proceedings than getting a familiar face home?!

First things first - Welcome back, Quinton de Kock! 🔥 Picked up at his base price of INR 1 crore, QDK’s return feels like destiny. 

A revered member of the 2019 and 2020 championship-winning team, the wicket-keeper batter was a walking highlight reel during those two years. From blistering starts at the top to game-changing knocks under pressure, he was ABSOLUTE CINEMA every time he walked out. 

…And let’s not forget that opening partnership with the Hitman himself - pure chemistry. With unfinished business and fire in his belly, Quinny is all set to chase trophy number six in familiar surroundings.

Joining him are four exciting base-price recruits, each bringing their own unique skill set. Danish Malewar, Mohammad Izhar, Atharva Ankolekar and Mayank Rawat were all snapped up for INR 30 lakhs and trust us - there’s plenty of promise packed into that quartet. Energy, hunger and versatility? All boxes ticked. ✅ A special shoutout to Atharva Ankolekar, the local lad ready to live the MI dream!

With these final pieces locked in, the #OneFamily for IPL 2026 is officially complete. The intent is real and the plan is simple: #6. Nothing less. Nothing more.
