Mumbai Indians may be ready to part ways with some of their pacers as the IPL 2027 retention deadline approaches on November 17. The move follows their trade for Arshdeep Singh, which has put the bowling group under fresh scrutiny.

Supporters will be keen to see whether the trade is the start of a wider overhaul or a single adjustment within a broader strategy.
