The Mumbai Indians (MI) have one of the strongest and well-rounded squads heading into the Indian Premier League's (IPL) 2026 season. From superstar Indian players to in-form overseas talent, MI possess a team with little to no weakness, making them one of the favourites for the title this time around.

The 2026 IPL season will see MI return with a very strong bowling lineup which will cause issues for the opposition to score against. Not only have they got an incredible set of specialist bowlers, but some of the all-rounders that the five-time champions have in their squad are also in tremendous form, allowing them to carry a great balance.

Will Jacks has rejuvenated himself ahead of the 2026 IPL season. The spin-bowling all-rounder was given a new role as a finisher and someone who can bowl three to four constantly by the new England captain Harry Brook.

This change in Jacks’ role will eventually benefit MI this time around. The Surrey player took nine wickets at the recent 2026 T20 World Cup. His all-round prowess earned him four Player of the Match accolades at the tournament.

Jacks played 13 times for MI during the 2025 season, where he took a total of six wickets. Based on his current wave of good form, it is safe to assume that the right-arm spinner will be one of MI’s key players this season.
