Mumbai Indians (MI) will be coming with a purse of ₹45 crore in the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah starting on November 24.

With INR 45 crore left in the purse, MI will be looking to get some of the best players in decent amounts and prepare a squad that could help them win the title for the sixth time. For this, MI can also target some players who were a part of the franchise before but later moved other franchises.
Former players MI can target in IPL 2025 mega auction
In the following listicle, we will have a look at three former players MI might target in IPL 2025 mega auction.
Jos Buttler
English batter Jos Buttler will be one of the big names to appear in the IPL 2025 mega auction. The right-hander had the best years of his IPL career while playing for Rajasthan Royals from 2018 to 2024. However, before that, Buttler was a part of Mumbai Indians for a couple of years and also won the title with the franchise in 2017. Now as RR have released Buttler ahead of IPL 2025, many franchises are likely to bid for him in the mega auction. MI will also look to bring Jos Buttler back in the squad for the upcoming season. The english cricketer can also turn out to be a dangerous opening batter alongside Rohit Sharma.
