Mujeeb Ur Rahman: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians' head coach Mahela Jayawardene highlighted franchise's faith in experience and the growth of youngsters, along with a likely push for uncapped domestic prospects to round off the squad at the IPL 2026 mini auction, scheduled for December 16.

He further stressed that franchise’s focus is on consistency and the team continues to rely on its "core group of hungry, high–impact players", including Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Tilak Varma.

He also noted that the return of Trent Boult last season added significant value, and the side has strengthened its balance by pairing experienced international names like Mitchell Santner and Will Jacks with developing young talent.
