Nadine de Klerk

South African all-rounder Nadine de Klerk brings international experience to MI. The 23-year-old has played 48 WT20Is, scoring 439 runs and picking up 37 wickets. Known for her finishing ability and control with the ball, de Klerk is expected to complement MI’s star-studded lineup featuring Amelia Kerr and Nat Sciver-Brunt.

G Kamalini

At just 16, G Kamalini has already made waves in Indian domestic cricket. She was instrumental in Tamil Nadu's U-19 Women's T20 Trophy triumph, scoring 311 runs in eight matches, including a series of sixes that demonstrated her power-hitting prowess. Her ₹1.60 crore price tag reflects her immense potential, and MI will look to groom her into a future star.

Sanskriti Gupta

A promising left-handed batter and right-arm off-break bowler, Sanskriti Gupta has impressed with her all-round contributions in domestic cricket. Her recent performances in the Madhya Pradesh Women’s team include a 6/13 bowling spell, highlighting her match-winning capabilities.

Akshita Maheshwari

A standout performer in the U23 Women’s One Day Trophy earlier this year, Akshita Maheshwari took a six-wicket haul to guide Rajasthan to victory. The 24-year-old’s medium-fast bowling adds variety to MI’s attack, while her lower-order batting could provide stability in tight matches.
