Mumbai Indians have traditionally built championship-winning teams around their ability to control the final overs, and the IPL 2026 squad once again reflects that strength. With proven international stars and experienced Indian bowlers, MI remain well-equipped to handle high-pressure death-over situations.
jasprit bumrah continues to be the gold standard for death bowling in Mumbai Indians colours. His accuracy, late swing and ability to nail yorkers under pressure make him MI’s most trusted option in overs 16 to 20. Bumrah’s composure in tight chases and knack for closing out games have been central to MI’s success over the years.
Trent Boult offers valuable support with his left-arm pace and experience. While he is most effective with the new ball, Boult’s ability to bowl wide yorkers and mix slower deliveries allows MI to use him strategically at the death when match-ups demand it.
Shardul Thakurbrought into the squad via trade, adds a wicket-taking option in the closing overs. Known for his aggressive approach, Thakur often delivers breakthroughs even when batters are set, making him a useful impact bowler late in the innings.
Deepak Chahar provides control and variation when conditions assist movement. His disciplined lines and ability to execute wide yorkers make him a reliable choice when MI need to restrict scoring rather than hunt for wickets.
With Bumrah leading the unit and strong backup from Boult, Thakur and Chahar, Mumbai Indians enter IPL 2026 with a death-bowling attack capable of defending totals and finishing matches in pressure situations.
