Five-time champions Mumbai Indians have arguably been the most talked-about franchise heading into the IPL 2024 Auction, thanks primarily to their decision to welcome all-rounder and Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya back into their side with open arms.
Even bigger news, however, was Mumbai Indians naming Pandya captain for IPL 2024 a few days before the auction, bringing the curtains down on Rohit Sharma’s glorious reign that spanned a decade and consisted of five IPL titles and one Champions League T20 title.
MI, who went as far as Qualifier 2 before getting knocked out by Pandya-led GT, entered the auction with a purse of Rs 17.75 crore and having eight slots to fill, four of them overseas.
