19 years of history and 10 teams… but no Pakistani player was ever seen in this legendary franchise

New Delhi: Indian Premier League 2026 is starting from 28th March. With this, Pakistan Super League is also starting. Many big cricketers are taking part in this league too, but the problem is that as soon as the foreign players are getting the IPL offer, they are leaving the PSL contract. There are many big names in the list of players who have withdrawn their names from this season of PSL. In such a situation, let us know about that team in IPL history which never allowed any Pakistani players to enter.

Let us tell you that in the history of IPL, there is only one team which never allowed any Pakistani player to enter its squad. This is none other than the five-time champion Mumbai Indians team. Mumbai Indians, especially in the IPL, have never allowed any Pakistani player to enter their squad.

Pakistani players played in the first season of IPL

Indian Premier League was started in the year 2008. In the first season of IPL, Pakistani players also played in many teams like Delhi Daredevils, Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, but Mumbai Indians was the only team which did not have a single Pakistani player. It would be surprising to know that the player who won the Purple Cap in the first season of IPL was also a Pakistani.

Mumbai has bought Pakistani players in ILT20 league

Apart from IPL, Mumbai Indians team plays in different franchise leagues like Major Premier League, SAT20 and ILT20. Even these teams, Mumbai Indians, have always avoided Pakistani players. Although, Mumbai has definitely bought Pakistan's Usman Khan in the UAE based ILT20 league, but except this player, Mumbai Indians have never trusted Pakistani players.
