Mumbai Indians are only one of the two teams that have won five titles in the Indian Premier League. MI also made some big changes to their team for the upcoming season of the league. The IPL 2024 will see Hardik Pandya leading the team in place of Rohit Sharma. The franchise traded him for the all-rounder from Gujarat Titans. Only time will tell how good the decision is.
But one thing is clear: the franchise is now looking for the future. And if it is about the future, then the announcement has been made for a mega auction in 2025. All teams can retain only three players, and the rest will come under the hammer at IPL 2025 auction. So who will be those MI players who will be retained? This article will be about three players whom MI can retain in 2025.
Three Players whom MI can retain ahead of mega auction in the IPL 2025
3. Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav has been the best T20I player in the last couple of years. He is one of those two players who can use each side of the field to full effect, which is why releasing him can be a big blunder. And MI can never take such a risk. Hence, SKY will surely be one player whom MI will retain ahead of the 2025 auction.
2. Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah is like a goldust and is currently with MI at a decent value. Everyone knows that if he comes into the auction, teams will certainly spend any amount on him to sign him. That’s what MI can’t afford, for sure. There is no doubt that the Mumbai franchise will retain him, which means they have only one more slot to fill out of three. Bumrah is a must-have for MI.
1. Hardik Pandya
The way Mumbai Indians have traded in Hardik Pandya from GT suggests how valuable the all-rounder is for the team. They won’t release him that easily. Hardik is the next white-ball captain of India and also for Mumbai Indians. So they won’t release their captain. But it means MI has to release Rohit Sharma in 2025, which will be a massively forced decision.
