Rohit Sharma on Mumbai Indians Retention List: Mumbai Indians have retained five players for IPL 2025. Their names are Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma and Tilak Verma. Let us tell you that in terms of salary, Rohit has been placed below Bumrah, Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav. Now after being retained, the former Mumbai captain said that MI has retained these 5 players to build a strong foundation.

Rohit Sharma said that the number at which he has been retained is the perfect slot for him. He said, "Since I have retired, this is the most perfect slot for me for retention. Players who represent the country at the international level should get priority. When you come to a new auction and the process of retaining some players is very difficult."

Let us remind you that in IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya finished last in the points table. Recalling that performance, Rohit has said that the team will give its all to do better next time. He said, "We have tried to strengthen the foundation of Mumbai. Now our goal will be to select such players in the auction who can prove to be match winners for us. We will take the right steps and take the team to where it deserves."

Mumbai Indians spent 75 crores

A team could have spent a maximum of Rs 75 crore on retained players. MI has already spent a total of Rs 75 crore on five players including Rohit Sharma and Jaspreet Bumrah and now the auction management of MI will have to prepare the rest of the team with the remaining Rs 45 crore. It will also be interesting to see on which player MI decides to play the Right to Match.
