IPL 2026 is right around the corner, and thus, the fans' excitement has increased nine times nine. With 5 titles in their cupboard and being recognized as one of the most successful IPL teams ever, the last few years have not been a cakewalk for the team. Lots of debates on captaincy, retention, and releases have seen them not being in finals since 2020, but that has not definitely dimmed a bit of enthusiasm for MI Paltan.

This year, with the reclamation of Rohit Sharma and the likes of the T20 champions Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Surya Kumar Yadav, and Tilak Verma, who had notable performances in the tournament, the MI squad looks strong. With a few clever picks in the auction of overseas ike Quinton De Kock, Rutherford, Santner, and Will Jacks, the team looks balanced. They also have a very good domestic inclusion, making the fans speculative of yet another good season ahead.

MI is going to play their season opener against arch-rivals Kolkata Knight Riders, against whom they have a remarkable head-to-head record, on March 29 at Wankhede Stadium.
