NEW DELHI: Nita Ambani, the owner of the Mumbai Indians franchise, was seen in a moment of quiet prayer prior to the start of the IPL 2025 mega auction at the Abady Al Johar Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
The gesture reflected her deep connection to the team and the tournament's significance.
As the 10 franchises prepared to make game-changing decisions, Nita’s presence and devotion underline the passion and commitment behind Mumbai Indians’ continued quest for excellence in the IPL.
MI entered the IPL 2025 auction after retaining the likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma.
MI's decision to retain Tilak proved to be a masterstroke, as the young left-hander recently etched his name in the record books by becoming the first Indian to score three consecutive centuries in T20s.
Mumbai Indians will aim to turn their fortunes around in IPL 2025 after a disappointing campaign last season, which saw them finish at the bottom of the table.
The tactical call to back the talented southpaw underlines the franchise's vision to invest in promising players, ensuring a strong foundation for IPL 2025.
Known for their legacy of success, the five-time champions will be looking to rebuild their squad strategically during the mega auction.
