The Hundred 2025 season is here, and cricket fans around the world are in for a thrilling ride. With plenty of international stars lined up, some familiar faces from the Mumbai Indians (MI) IPL squad will be looking to make their mark in the shorter format. Let’s take a look at a few MI players who could light up the stage in The Hundred this year.
Mitchell Santner (Northern Superchargers)
New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner was a quiet performer for MI in the IPL 2025, but his control and consistency made a big difference. He picked up 10 wickets with an impressive economy rate of under 8. Santner’s strength lies in his ability to stick to tight lines and lengths, something that makes him a valuable asset in any limited-overs format.
In The Hundred so far, he has already taken eight wickets with an economy rate of just 7.24 – strong numbers in a format known for explosive scoring. Representing the Northern Superchargers, Santner’s subtle variations and calm under pressure will be crucial in key middle overs.
Trent Boult (Birmingham Phoenix)
If there’s one bowler who makes an immediate impact with the new ball, it’s Trent Boult. The left-arm pacer was MI’s top wicket-taker in the IPL 2025, finishing with 22 scalps. Though his economy hovered around 9 runs per over, his early breakthroughs often turned games in MI’s favor.
Boult will make his debut in The Hundred this season with the Birmingham Phoenix, and all eyes will be on how he adapts to the 100-ball format. With his vast T20 experience around the world, the Kiwi speedster is expected to bring fireworks in the powerplay once again.
Will Jacks is another name MI fans will remember fondly from the last IPL season. While he played a key role with his off-spin, his true value was on display with the bat. Jacks scored 233 runs at a strike rate of 135.46, providing explosive starts at the top of the order.
In The Hundred, he has already proven his all-round potential. Playing for the Oval Invincibles, Jacks has smashed 790 runs at a stunning strike rate of 162.21 and also taken 14 wickets with an economy of 6.52. His versatility makes him one of the most exciting players to watch this season.
Final Thoughts
As the 2025 edition of The Hundred unfolds, expect these Mumbai Indians players to play pivotal roles for their respective teams. Whether it’s Boult’s fiery new-ball spells, Santner’s crafty spin, or Jacks’ all-round brilliance, they are all set to entertain cricket fans in the UK and beyond. Stay tuned for more updates and match-winning performances.
