**Mumbai, India** – The Mumbai Indians (MI) have significantly reshaped their squad for the upcoming IPL 2025 season, spending heavily in the player auction.

The team released a substantial number of players before the auction, including notable names like Dewald Brevis, Ishan Kishan, and Arjun Tendulkar. A total of 20 players were released, freeing up roster space for the newly acquired players. The complete list of released players includes: Dewald Brevis, Ishan Kishan, Tim David, Vishnu Vinod, Arjun Tendulkar, Shams Mulani, Nehal Wadhera, Kumar Kartikeya, Piyush Chawla, Akash Madhwal, Jason Behrendorff, Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Dilshan Madushanka, Shreyas Gopal, Nuwan Thushara, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Mohammad Nabi, and Shivalik Sharma.
