Mumbai Indians did well in the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. They also did well in the retentions. However, they still have some weak spots. Here, we take a look at the list of three weaknesses in the Mumbai Indians squad for IPL 2025.
1) No support for Hardik Pandya in the finishing department
Considering Suryakumar Yadav will operate at No.4, Hardik Pandya could play at No.5. Below Hardik, there is no noted finisher in the team.
The likes of Naman Dhir and Robin Minz are not established. Mitchell Santner is not a proven finisher. This is an issue for the side.
2) Having no proven wicket-keeper is one of the weaknesses in the Mumbai Indians squad for IPL 2025
Having no proven keeper is one of the weaknesses in the Mumbai Indians squad for IPL 2025. Ryan Rickelton or Robin Minz could keep wickets for MI. KL Shrijith is the other option.
None of these players have played in the IPL before. Apart from their keeping skills, it will also be necessary that they step up with the bat.
3) No reliable Indian spinner
In Mitchell Santner and Allah Ghazanfar, the Mumbai Indians have a strong spin attack for IPL 2025. However, it needs to be noted that it is a foreign duo.
If the franchise needs to change the combination, they cannot do that because they do not have a reliable Indian spinner. Hence, this could cause an issue for the side.
