Possible Mumbai Indians Retained Players List IPL 2025: The update regarding IPL 2025 mega auction is that it can be organized in Saudi Arabia on 25-26 November. Meanwhile, according to the retention list released by BCCI, a team can retain 5 players and play the Right to Match card on one player. Like all the teams, Mumbai Indians also have to submit their retention list to BCCI by 31st October. Before that, let us know about those 5 players whom MI can retain.
1. Rohit Sharma
In IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians traded Hardik Pandya to Gujarat Titans. Hardik came into limelight when Rohit Sharma was replaced and he was made the captain of MI. Rumors of discord between Rohit and Hardik also surfaced during the season. But Rohit is the same player who has made MI the IPL champion 5 times under his captaincy. He has been one of the most special players of Mumbai and till now he has scored 5,458 runs in 212 matches for this franchise.
2. Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya made Gujarat Titans the champion of IPL 2022 under his captaincy. He came back to Mumbai last season, but was heavily criticized due to many bad decisions. Neither could he perform well individually nor was anything special seen in his captaincy. But Hardik is one of the top all-rounder players in the world, he also has a good rapport with the management of Mumbai. The experience of playing in MI and captaining in IPL can make him a trump card for Mumbai.
3. Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav is one of the few batsmen in current cricket who can be called a successful T20 batsman. Given his ability to play 360 degree shots and long innings, any team would like to keep him with them. The demand for Surya has also increased because he has now become the captain of the Indian T20 team. He has so far scored 2,986 runs in 96 matches for MI.
4. Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling has consistency and accuracy, a combination that is rarely seen. After coming to Mumbai Indians, the first few seasons were not good for Bumrah, but it cannot be denied that MI had laid the foundation of making him the top bowler in the world. Bumrah is fully entitled to get the slot to be retained in the auction for Rs 18 crore. Last season also he had taken 20 wickets in 13 matches.
5. Nehal Wadhera
According to the retention rules, every team will have to retain at least one uncapped player in IPL 2025. This place can be achieved by Nehal Wadhera, who has so far scored 350 runs in 20 matches for Mumbai. Wadhera did not play many matches last season, but his classic shots are proof that he is a world-class batsman. MI should try to groom Vadhera as a future superstar player. With this mentality, Vadhera can be retained as an uncapped player for Rs 4 crore.
