The IPL 2026 campaign has begun. All 10 teams are fully prepared for the 19th season of the Indian Premier League. The Mumbai Indians have also finalized their 25-member squad for IPL 2026. Hardik Pandya's team acquired five players in the IPL 2026 auction. Here's a look at the Mumbai Indians' likely playing XI for IPL 2026. 

Rohit and De Kock will open! 

The Mumbai Indians have several openers for IPL 2026. Rohit Sharma is confirmed to open the innings, but the team has several options for his partner. In Ryan Ricky Ponting, Quinton de Kock, and Will Jacks, Mumbai has three options. However, Rohit and de Kock can open the innings. Tilak Varma at number three and Suryakumar Yadav at number four are confirmed. 

Mumbai boasts of several fearsome finishers.

Mumbai has several formidable finishers in its ranks, including captain Hardik Pandya, West Indies' Sherfane Rutherford, young Naman Dheer, and New Zealand's Mitchell Santner. This leaves Mumbai with eight batsmen. In bowling, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, and Deepak Chahar could be part of the starting eleven. Impact players can be used depending on the conditions, and there are many options available for this as well.
