Mumbai Indians’ performance in IPL 2024 was very poor under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. Mumbai Indians also had to face a lot of controversies last season. Due to this, the team suffered a lot. However, the team is once again ready for the new season and has announced the names of all their retained players for IPL 2025. The Mumbai Indians team has announced the names of the players to be retained ahead of the mega player’s auction for the next season. In this, a surprising decision has been seen from the franchise. Due to the controversy with Rohit Sharma, it was believed that he would leave the team, but he has been retained.
These players were retained.
The Mumbai Indians team last won the IPL title in the year 2020. After this many big changes have been seen in everyone from their coaching staff for the upcoming season. The team has dropped many big players this time. Which is no less than a surprise for the fans. If we look at the list of names of players to be retained by Mumbai Indians before the mega player auction, they have retained five players. Which includes the names of Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Verma. They have not retained a single uncapped player.
Who will become the captain?
The Mumbai Indians team has retained all the big players for IPL 2025. Now the biggest question is which player will be given the captaincy of the team. The year 2024 was very bad for Mumbai Indians under Hardik’s captaincy and his team finished 10th i.e. last. It is believed that the team can change its captain this season. However, it is difficult to say who he should make the captain. But Team India’s T20 captain Surya seems to be at the top of this list. It seems very difficult that Rohit Sharma will once again take over the captaincy.
Mumbai gave so many crores.
Jasprit Bumrah (18 crores), Suryakumar Yadav (16.35 crores), Hardik Pandya (16.35 crores), Rohit Sharma (16.3 crores) Tilak Verma (8 crores)
