MI Match Tickets: When & how to buy for IPL 2026 first phase

MI will play their first game of IPL 2026 on March 29 against KKR.

The joint-most successful Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise and five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will be eager to lay their hands on the trophy yet again. Since 2020, MI has been unable to reach the final despite a star-studded lineup.

However, they will feel this time they have the best chance, with nearly every player in the squad being in form. Led by Hardik Pandya, fans will be eager to witness former skipper Rohit Sharma back in action. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Tilak Varma already helped India retain their T20 World Cup 2026 trophy.

Moreover, MI’s formidable overseas contingent makes their squad even more balanced and complete. The Men in Blue and Gold are bolstered by the return of Quinton de Kock. Will Jacks and Sherfane Rutherford could solve MI’s middle-order concerns, while Mitchell Santner and Allah Ghazanfar provide excellent spin options.

MI will be opening their campaign against KKR on home turf on March 29, but have not won their opening match of the season since 2012. Considering their strong historical record against the KKR, MI will aim to finally break this trend.
