Complete Squad Details for Each Mumbai T20 League 2026 Team
The MCA held the Season 4 player auction on May 2, 2026. Teams finalized their squads by combining retained players with new auction picks.
1. Triumph Knights Mumbai North East
Suryakumar Yadav is back as the face of this franchise, which won the inaugural T20 Mumbai League title in 2018. Additionally, the Knights have retained two of Mumbai cricket’s brightest youngsters.
Key Retentions: Suryakumar Yadav, Ayush Mhatre, Suryansh Shedge
Full Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (Icon), Ayush Mhatre, Suryansh Shedge, Akhil Herwadkar, Sagar Mishra, Sylvester Dsouza, Vedant Gurav, Nutan Goel, Parikshit Valsangkar, Vedant Murkar, Prasann Shukla, Aishwary Surve, Asif Shaikh, Bharat Patil, Hitesh Kadam, Jigar Rana, Makarand Patil, Utkarsh Raut, Shikhar Thakur, Minadd Manjrekar
With Ayush Mhatre providing explosive top-order batting and Suryansh Shedge offering all-round depth, this squad looks well-balanced. As a result, the Knights could challenge for the title once again.
2. SoBo Mumbai Falcons
Shreyas Iyer leads a squad that reached the Season 3 final but fell short against MSC Maratha Royals. Consequently, the Falcons have invested heavily in the auction to strengthen their lineup for 2026.
Key Retentions: Shreyas Iyer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Harsh Aghav
Top Auction Buy: Akash Parkar (Rs 12 lakh, highest men’s bid in Season 4 auction)
Full Squad: Shreyas Iyer (Icon), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Harsh Aghav, Akash Parkar, Ishan Mulchandani, Siddharth Raut, Aditya Tare (wk), Nikhil Giri, Yash Dicholkar, Prathamesh Dake, Mayuresh Tandel, Yash Ramchandani, Vedant Gore, Muhammad Taha
The Falcons blend experience and youth effectively. Aditya Tare brings veteran glovework, while Angkrish Raghuvanshi adds U19 star power at the top of the order.
3. North Mumbai Panthers
Ajinkya Rahane takes charge of the Panthers, who won the tournament back in Season 2 (2019). Therefore, this franchise knows what it takes to lift the trophy under pressure.
Key Retentions: Ajinkya Rahane, Abhigyan Kundu, Tanush Kotian
Full Squad: Ajinkya Rahane (Icon), Abhigyan Kundu, Tanush Kotian, Vaibhav Mali, Ayush Vartak, Hardik Tamore, Mohit Avasthi, Harsh Tanna, Aayush Zimare, Pratik Mishra, Aaryaraj Nikam, Anish Chaudhery, Kevin D’Almeida, Pravesh Pal, Rahul Sawant, Rohit Pol
Tanush Kotian, who has represented Mumbai Indians in the IPL, provides crucial spin-bowling depth. Furthermore, Abhigyan Kundu impressed as a keeper-batter during India’s U19 World Cup campaign.
4. Arcs Andheri
Shivam Dube headlines a power-packed batting lineup that also features Musheer Khan and Arjun Tendulkar. Accordingly, this franchise went big at the auction to build an aggressive squad.
Key Auction Buys: Prasad Pawar (Rs 11.50 lakh), Musheer Khan (Rs 11 lakh), Arjun Tendulkar (Rs 10 lakh)
Full Squad: Shivam Dube (Icon), Pragnesh Kanpillewar, Deepak Shetty, Prasad Pawar, Musheer Khan, Arjun Tendulkar, Divyaansh Saksena, Gaurav Jathar, Hrishikesh Gore, Himanshu Singh, Karthik Shaji Kumar, Ayush Jethwa, Kiaan Parekh, Ashutosh Ghagre, Ajay Mishra, Prasoon Singh, Moin Ahmed, Rishi Shah
Arcs Andheri arguably made the loudest splash at the auction. Musheer Khan scored over 700 runs in Ranji Trophy 2023-24 for Mumbai, which makes him a genuine match-winner in this format too.
5. Bandra Blasters
Yashasvi Jaiswal brings his Rajasthan Royals form to the Blasters, making them one of the most exciting squads to watch. In addition, the team has retained several solid domestic performers.
Key Retentions: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suved Parkar, Dhrumil Matkar
Full Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal (Icon), Suved Parkar, Dhrumil Matkar, Royston Dias, Jay Jain, Karsh Kothari, Sagarr Chhabriaa, Dhanit Raut, Prateekkumar Yadav, Om Keshkamat, Parag Khanapurkar, Tatsat Singh, Aadit Bahutule, Atif Attarwala, Aashray Sajnani, Virendra Yadav, Sohum Sabnis, Sairaj Nair, Hersh Tank, Aditya Anand
Interestingly, Atif Attarwala was the Player of the Final in Season 2 (2019) for the Panthers. He now joins the Blasters’ camp, which adds proven knockout-stage experience.
6. Eagle Thane Strikers
Shardul Thakur captains the Strikers, who produced Season 3’s Man of the Tournament in Sairaj Patil. As a result, this unit carries both confidence and momentum into the new season.
Key Retentions: Shardul Thakur, Atharva Ankolekar, Sairaj Patil
Full Squad: Shardul Thakur (Icon), Atharva Ankolekar, Sairaaj Patil, Onkar Tarmale, Sumeir Zaveri, Amartya Raje, Rohan Ghag, Shashwat Jagtap, Vinay Kunwar, Manan Bhatt, Siddhant Singh, Aditya Giri, Anuj Giri, Ayaan Jain, Dhanay Parekh, Eknath Kerkar, Kartik Mishra, Shashikant Kadam, Shaun Rodrigues, Shivansh Singh
Atharva Ankolekar, the left-arm spinner who took a five-wicket haul in the 2020 U19 World Cup final for India, strengthens their spin department considerably.
7. Aakash Tigers MWS
Sarfaraz Khan, the Ranji Trophy run machine, leads a squad built around Mumbai’s domestic circuit strength. His presence alone makes the Tigers a dangerous batting unit.
Key Retentions: Sarfaraz Khan, Shams Mulani, Jay Bista
Full Squad: Sarfaraz Khan (Icon), Shams Mulani, Jay Bista, Vinayak Bhoir, Akash Anand, Sourabh Singh, Naman Pushpak, Ajit Yadav, Akshat Jain, Shashank Attarde, Prince Badiani, Saksham Parashar, Ankur Singh, Sagar Patil, Kruthik Hanagavadi, Varun Lavande, Jay Dhatrak, Harsh Rane, Arnav Dhole
Shams Mulani was one of the leading wicket-takers in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Mumbai. Similarly, Shashank Attarde won the Purple Cap in Season 3 with 11 wickets in 6 matches.
8. MSC Maratha Royals (Defending Champions)
The MSC Maratha Royals won Season 3 by beating SoBo Mumbai Falcons by 5 wickets in the 2025 final at Wankhede. However, they enter Season 4 with some key changes to their roster.
Key Retentions: Siddhesh Lad, Rohan Raje, Irfan Umair
New Icon Player: Tushar Deshpande (replaces Siddhesh Lad as icon; Lad stays in the squad)
Top Auction Buy: Chinmay Sutar (Rs 9.50 lakh), who scored 271 runs and won the Orange Cap in Season 3
Full Squad: Tushar Deshpande (Icon), Siddhesh Lad, Rohan Raje, Chinmay Sutar, Irfan Umair, Aditya Dhumal, Maxwell Swaminathan, Ayaz Ahmed, Sahil Jadhav, Aryan Patni, Pratik Shukla, Arjun Dani, Atharva Bhosale, Sachin Yadav, Shreyanssh Rai, Shreyas Gurav, Yash Gadia, Om Bangar, Jitendra Paliwal, Swaraj Parulkar
Bringing back Chinmay Sutar through the auction was a smart move. He was the Player of the Match in last season’s final, which means the Royals have retained their championship DNA.
