Mumbai Women’s T20 League 2026 Squad List: All Three Teams
Aakash Tigers
Icon Player: Humaira Kazi
The Tigers walked into the auction room knowing exactly what they wanted. A teenager with big-hitting ability at the top of their wishlist. They got her. Ira Jadhav went for the highest price of the day and becomes the player every team will plan against.
Humaira Kazi as an icon steadies the ship. She has seen enough of Mumbai cricket to know what works. Together, the Jadhav-Kazi combination gives the Tigers a top order that can be dangerous on any surface.

SoBo Mumbai Falcons
Icon Player: Sayali Satghare
The Falcons looked like the calmest team in the auction room. No panic bids, no chasing names for the sake of it. They locked in Sayali Satghare as icon, a player who has earned her reputation on Mumbai grounds over many seasons, and built a squad around that same steadiness.
Riya Chaudhari and Simran Shaikh are the picks that stand out. Both are match-hardened. Both know how to close out tight games. That is exactly the kind of player the Falcons have targeted throughout.
| # | Player Name | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sayali Satghare | Batter / WK | ICON |
| 2 | Riya Chaudhari | All-rounder | Key auction pick |

| 14 | Janhvi Kate | Bowler | |
| 15 | Reshma Nayak | All-rounder | |
| 16 | Sarika Koli / S Pagdhare | Bowler |
Thane Sky Risers
Icon Player: Saima Thakor
Thane went bowling first and did not apologise for it. Saima Thakor, as an icon, tells you everything about their approach. She is the kind of bowler who changes the mood of a match in one spell, and the Sky Risers have built their entire attack to support that threat.
Vrushali Bhagat gives them the balance. A genuine all-rounder who can contribute with bat and ball means the Sky Risers are not one-dimensional, even if the bowling remains their biggest weapon.
| # | Player Name | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Saima Thakor | Bowler | ICON |

Squad Snapshot: All Teams Side by Side
| Team | Icon Player | Notable Picks | Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aakash Tigers | Humaira Kazi | Ira Jadhav | Top-order firepower |

How Each Team Is Built to Win?
- Aakash Tigers are built on the assumption that if Ira Jadhav gets going, no total is safe. They are the highest-variance team in the league. On a good day, very hard to beat. On a bad one, they could collapse quickly. That is the tradeoff when you build around a young match-winner.
- SoBo Mumbai Falcons are the opposite. They are built to avoid bad days. The squad has no obvious weak links, and Sayali Satghare is the kind of captain who keeps teams composed when things are not going well. They are the side most likely to finish the league stage in the top two consistently.
- Thane Sky Risers will win games you did not expect them to win. When Saima Thakor is on and when the pitch offers anything, they will blow teams away. The question is whether their batting can hold up when conditions do not favour their bowlers.
