After a disappointing performance in IPL 2024, five-time champions Mumbai Indians have taken the first steps to make a strong comeback. Mumbai Indians have retained a total of 5 players before the mega auction of IPL 2025. The special thing is that Rohit Sharma is still with this team. After last season, it was believed that Rohit Sharma could leave Mumbai Indians, but this has not happened. At the same time, Hardik Pandya has also been retained. Apart from these two stalwarts, Mumbai team has retained more players.

Mumbai Indians' retention list revealed

Last year itself, Mumbai had handed over the command of the team to Hardik Pandya in place of Rohit Sharma, after which it was believed that Rohit might leave the team. But Rohit will once again be seen playing for Mumbai Indians only. Rohit has won the IPL trophy 5 times with this team. At the same time, Hardik Pandya had come to Mumbai team through trade in the last season itself and also became the captain. Apart from these, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma have also been retained.

Captain announced for the next season

Along with the retention list, Mumbai Indians have also announced the name of the captain for the next season. Mumbai team has announced that Hardik Pandya will be the captain of the team in IPL 2025. Last season, the performance of Mumbai team under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya was very poor, but Mumbai has maintained its faith in Pandya. That means Rohit Sharma will play as a player in the upcoming season also.

MI retained which player for how much?

Mumbai has given the maximum amount of Rs 18 crore to Jasprit Bumrah. At the same time, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya have been retained for Rs 16.35-16.35 crore.
