Mumbai Indians has decided to retain Rohit Sharma ahead of this year’s IPL mega auction. Rohit, who has guided Mumbai to five IPL titles, is tied as the most successful captain in the tournament’s history, alongside MS Dhoni of Chennai Super Kings.

Over his tenure, Rohit captained Mumbai in 163 matches across the IPL and Champions League T20, securing 91 wins, with 4 ties and 68 losses. Under his leadership, Mumbai reached five IPL finals — in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020 — winning all of them.

Earlier this year, Rohit also led India to its second T20 World Cup title in Barbados.

October 31 is the deadline for the 10 IPL franchises to submit their lists of retained players. Each team is allowed to retain up to six players ahead of the 2025 season’s mega auction, with a maximum of five capped international players.
