Mumbai Indians lost their first game of IPL 2025. It was a tough loss to CSK. The team had a low score in the first inning. Here, we take a look at the list of three Mumbai Indians cricketers who could be dropped for the next game.
A few players from the side could face the axe for the next game. Hardik Pandya will return to the side and hence, at least, there will be one change. Due to the loss against CSK, there could be more changes, as well. MI will be desperate to do well in the next games.
1) Robin Minz
Robin Minz could be the first name that could drop out of the list. He looked rusty against CSK and could not connect the ball well at the Chepauk.
Hardik Pandya will likely replace the young Jharkhand cricketer. That said, it might not be the last game for Robin. He is a talented cricketer and he could very well get a few games in the next few weeks.
2) Naman Dhir is one of the Mumbai Indians cricketers who could be dropped
Naman Dhir is one of the Mumbai Indians cricketers who could be dropped for the next game. It won’t be a surprise if that happens in the next match.
Naman is definitely a fine player but it is all about finding the right combination for MI. They could have an extra left-hander in the team, especially with Hardik returning.
3) Satyanarayana Raju
It was a tough start for Satyanarayana Raju on his IPL debut. He could just bowl the one over and Ruturaj Gaikwad was able to negate his threat.
With Hardik Pandya in the squad, Raju might not be the third seamer. The team could even consider someone like Ashwani Kumar or Arjun Tendulkar in the side.
