🟡 Mumbai Indians (MI)
MI has a settled core and the smallest purse. Their strategy is purely about budget-friendly Indian backups.

Key Gaps: Budget Wicketkeeper Backup, Indian Pace Depth, Quality Spin Option.

Strategy: Cautious, Depth-Focused Bids. Avoid bidding wars entirely and focus on the minimum required Indian players.

🎯 Top Targets: Aryan Juyal/Luvnith Sisodia (Budget Indian WK), Simarjeet Singh/Akash Madhwal (Indian Pacer), Rahul Chahar (Attempted Buy-Back/Spin).

Insight: The strong retained core means they can afford to miss out on marquee players, focusing only on affordable injury cover and Indian bench strength.
