Mumbai Indians first retention Rohit Sharma: There is a lot of discussion about whether Mumbai Indians will retain Rohit Sharma before the IPL 2025 mega auction or not. Last year, he was removed from the captaincy, after which reports claimed that he might part ways with the franchise. However, Mumbai has meanwhile removed Mark Boucher as the head coach and appointed Mahela Jayawardene as the new head coach.
Since then it is being claimed that Mahela Jayawardene has played an important role in convincing Rohit Sharma to remain with the franchise. Now, according to Rohit Juglan of RevSportz, Mumbai has not only decided to retain him, but the star cricketer will be their first retention.
Captain Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah were favorites for this, but Mumbai Indians do not want to part with Rohit and that is why the franchise wants to give him every possible opportunity.

Mumbai Indians had a very disappointing performance in the last season
Let us tell you that in the last season of IPL, Mumbai Indians had a very disappointing performance under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. The team was at the bottom of the points table. In such a situation, the franchise aims to improve it before the start of the upcoming season.
Now, retention and money will play an important role in what kind of team the franchise prepares for the next season. Let us tell you that October 31 is the last date for the franchise to declare its retention. Each team is allowed to retain a maximum of five capped and one uncapped players.
Mumbai is working on finalizing their retention and it remains to be seen whether they are successful in retaining all their star players including Hardik, Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan.
