IPL 2025 Auction: A few days ago, a meeting was held between IPL officials and team owners at BCCI’s Wankhede office. Some team owners attended the BCCI office for this meeting, while some participated virtually. Many surprising news also came out from the meeting. However, in the meantime another big news has come. This news is related to the Mumbai Indians camp.
If reports are to be believed, Mumbai Indians are going to release their captain Hardik Pandya. Actually, Mumbai Indians had re-added Hardik Pandya to their team before IPL 2024. Also, the franchise took the captaincy from Rohit Sharma and gave it to this star all-rounder. Still the team could not do anything amazing and could not even make it to the playoffs. Now the news is that Mumbai Indians will release Hardik Pandya.
If there are no changes in the rules, teams will be able to retain four players
According to the rules of IPL, a mega auction is held every three years. This time the mega auction will be held again in December. In such a situation, all the 10 teams will be allowed to retain only four players each. However, there is also a report that this time the number of retained players may increase. So far BCCI or IPL have not said anything about this. But reports are claiming that now five players can be retained.
Mumbai Indians can retain these 4 players
According to sources, Mumbai Indians wants to keep Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Jaspreet Bumrah with them at any cost. In such a situation, the franchise will release Hardik Pandya, because Suryakumar is now the captain of the country in the T20 format. In such a situation, the franchise can hand over the command of their team to him. Rohit will also be comfortable playing under Surya’s captaincy.
It is being said in the report that Mumbai Indians can retain Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Jaspreet Bumrah and Tilak Verma for IPL 2025. There is no doubt that the franchise now wants to prepare a new team. In such a situation, we may see many new players in the team in the upcoming season.
