There are less than 6 months left for the start of IPL 2025 and all the franchises have started their preparations. The mega auction of IPL 2025 will take place in the last week of November. As soon as the auction ends and the players get their respective teams, the franchises will then discuss strategies with the captain.

Now in the meantime, speculations are being made that which franchises will keep which players and which will be released? So let us give you a little idea as to whom the 5-time champion Mumbai Indians will retain and whom it will release.

Rohit-Ishaan may be released

Rohit Sharma will hardly be seen playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. Before IPL 2024, when Mumbai removed Rohit and made Hardik Pandya the captain, then there was talk of rift between the hitman and Nita Ambani. Along with this, a video was also revealed before the match with KKR where a conversation was taking place between Rohit and Nayyar.

In this video, Rohit was looking very disappointed and after this, speculations started being made that the hitman would leave Mumbai Indians. At the same time, if Mumbai releases Rohit Sharma, then Rs 16 crore will be left out of the franchise's purse. Along with this, Mumbai can also release Ishaan Kishan. He gets Rs 15.25 crore but his performance has not been anything special. In 2024, he scored only 320 runs in 14 matches.

These 8 players can also be released

At the same time, Mumbai Indians can also release these 8 players before IPL 2025. The name of Jasprit Bumrah is also there, about whom there is news that he can go to RCB. Along with this, there is news of Suryakumar Yadav becoming the captain of KKR while the names of 6 other players can also be included in Arjun Tendulkar, Piyush Chawla, Dewald Brevis, Mohammad Nabi, Naman Dheer, Kumar Karthikeya.
