The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is rapidly approaching, and this time around, talk of the huge auction is centred on the players.
The Mumbai Indians are one of the many notable teams that have plans to alter their current image this time around.
For this year’s IPL, the Mumbai Indians are probably going to make a few changes to their starting lineup. It’s possible that some of the team’s more seasoned players will be leaving, and new players may take their place.
The major news in this episode is that Nita Ambani, the owner of the Mumbai Indians, is now considering adding the son of a fruit vendor to the team.
Which fruit seller’s boy can play IPL 2025?
People on social media have been eager to hear about the story of Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani bringing in Umran, a child from a fruit vendor’s family, ever since it broke, according to reports.
Current Hyderabad player Umran Malik has been a mainstay in recent seasons thanks to his lightning-fast bowling. Although the Mumbai Indians did not give him an opportunity in the 2024 IPL, they are still keeping an eye on him because of his talent.
This humble man’s son, Umran, is turning heads with his extraordinary talent; his father runs a roadside fruit stand. The Indian team is also hoping for Umran’s return, but he hasn’t officially acknowledged it yet.
Everyone was taken aback by Umran’s impressive performance in the 2022 IPL. The 22 wickets he took that season were evidence of his skill and determination. But his bowling performance dropped in the 2023 and 2024 IPL seasons, preventing him from starting in a few games.
Although the Mumbai Indians may have a tough time acquiring Umran Malik, their decision is reasonable given his talent.
It remains to be seen how the players’ fortunes will change in the IPL 2025 and who will be willing to adopt new colours.
