Mumbai Indians have finalized their key retentions for the IPL 2025 season, with star bowler Jasprit Bumrah becoming the highest-paid retention at ₹18 crore. Despite earlier speculations that Rohit Sharma might have played his last game for MI, the franchise has decided to keep him on board at ₹16.30 crore.
In a strategic move, Mumbai Indians released wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan and Australian batsman Tim David back into the auction pool. The franchise is expected to use the Right To Match (RTM) card to potentially bring one of their middle-order players, like Tilak Varma, back into the team.
