IPL 2026: Top 3 Worst Releases by Mumbai Indians in IPL History

2. Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler spent several seasons with the Mumbai Indians and offered glimpses of the explosive talent he possessed. Despite that, MI released him before he entered his prime years in the tournament. After leaving the franchise, the English batter established himself as one of the most dangerous openers in IPL history, scoring heavily and winning games on his own.

In hindsight, parting ways with Buttler proved to be a costly decision, especially for the way he has created a long-lasting legacy for his former franchise, the Rajasthan Royals and made a mark for his current team, the Gujarat Titans.
