Tilak Varma to Reece Topley: Nita Ambani's MI might release these star players after IPL 2025
In this collection of pictures we shall take a look at the list of players who might be released by Nita Ambani's Mumbai Indians after IPL 2025. Mumbai Indians' journey in IPL 2025 ended with Qualifier 2. The Mumbai team won its last title in the year 2020. In such a situation, Mumbai Indians can release some players before the 2026 season. These may include players who did not get many opportunities in IPL 2025. Therefore, the team can consider releasing them. Mujeeb Ur Rahman was included in the team after Allah Ghazanfar was injured. But he got a chance to play only one match. He could not fit in the team combination. Therefore, Mumbai may release him before IPL 2026. Satyanarayan Raju also got a chance to play only two matches in IPL 2025. He was behind bowlers like Ashwini Kumar and Corbin Bosch in the team. Raju can also be released from Mumbai. Raj Angad Bawa is an all-rounder. He got a chance to play two matches in IPL 2025. But he did not get a chance to bat or bowl in any match. He was also part of the team in the eliminator match against Gujarat. But he did not get a chance to bat or bowl. Mumbai may release him too. Reece Topley did not get a chance to show his skills for Mumbai Indians this season. Trent Boult and Corbin Bosch were ahead of him. He only played one match that is because Deepak Chahar's injury. Tilak Varma is among the players who haven't lived up to expectations this season. The young talent is often viewed as a potential all-format mainstay for India. However, IPL form has consistently influenced T20I team selections, and his underwhelming showing this year has sparked discussions about his future with the Mumbai Indians heading into the 2026 season.
