Mumbai Indians have one of the best squads in the IPL 2025. Their core of Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah was retained along with an emerging star like Tilak Varma, ahead of the auctions. MI brought some highly talented players from the auctions, who could play a key role for them. It has been four seasons since MI last won an IPL trophy and would love to win another.
Along with CSK, MI are tied for the most number of IPL titles (5 each). If MI can win another trophy, they can be the undisputed greatest team in the history of the IPL. For that to happen, batters have to play a key role. MI has some of the best players in the world in their lineup. Their Indian batting core is strong, which could fire this season. It might decide MI’s fate in the IPL 2025.
Here are the three batters who could score the most number of runs for MI in the IPL 2025 –
1. Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma hasn’t had a great IPL season with the bat for a long time. While his performances have been exceptional for India, especially in LOIs, Rohit has struggled to maintain consistency every season after 2015. In the last couple of seasons, he did well in the first half before falling in the second half.
A main reason behind MI’s inability to win the titles in the last four seasons has been Rohit’s lack of consistency as a batter. With Hardik being the skipper, Sharma wouldn’t be under any sort of pressure. He can concentrate on simply giving his best as a batter. It could work in his and MI’s favor.
2. Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t been at his best in the last half year or so. At the highest level, the unorthodox batter hasn’t been at his consistent best. After the T20 World Cup 2024, Yadav hasn’t played a significant knock. He might have to spend some time in the middle to gain some form and confidence.
In the Indian team, the openers have usually dictated terms under his captaincy. With him taking backstage and playing purely as a player, SKY might be relieved and could concentrate on his batting. The playing conditions in Wankhede Stadium suit his batting and he could excel on good surfaces.
3. Tilak Varma
Tilak Varma has been in the form of his life, winning matches for India on different kinds of surfaces. He can strike the ball from the word go and bat deep to see off the run chase. Tilak is a highly versatile batter and can adapt to all conditions. He can smash some of the best bowlers in the world for fun.
Tilak just has to maximize his form and deliver a season to remember for. He was the standout performer for MI in the IPL 2022 and was impressive in the 2023 season as well. While his 2024 season was a mixed bag, 2025 could turn out to be great. Varma can play long innings and be the standout batter for MI in 2025.
