Mumbai Indians

The current and four-time champions Mumbai Indians had to make two releases by default given that Yuvraj Singh retired from the league and Jason Behrendorff is out of cricket for a considerable amount of time due to his back surgery. Therefore, they got Trent Boult from Delhi Capitals and retained Mitchell McClenaghan.

Surprisingly, they released young Alzarri Joseph, who had picked the record IPL haul of 6/12 against SRH. Another predicted release that came true was of Evin Lewis who lost his opener’s spot to De Kock.
