The performance of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 was very disappointing.
Team India’s former veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has asked which players can Mumbai Indians (MI) retain before the mega auction of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season? Discussed this. Mumbai India’s performance in the last three seasons was not good. Rohit Sharma was the captain for two seasons and Hardik Pandya was the captain last season, but the team still could not perform well.
Now what will be the team’s strategy for the next three years? This will be decided by what decision the team takes in retention. However, meanwhile, Harbhajan expressed uncertainty about the franchise retaining former captain Rohit Sharma. However, he stressed that if the team decides to retain the fourth player, Rohit’s name should undoubtedly be there.
Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement regarding MI’s IPL retention.
Harbhajan Singh said in the Star Sports show, “Mumbai Indians is a team which has not performed well in the last two-three years. MI has been a champion team, a very good team, and as far as I know, they will definitely be thinking about building a team for the future, but that doesn’t mean they won’t add experienced players this year. .
Last year they made Hardik Pandya the captain and I think he will definitely be retained. Jasprit Bumrah will also be retained and Suryakumar Yadav will also be retained.”
Bhajji further said about Rohit Sharma, “However, the question is whether Rohit Sharma will be retained? He has just won the World Cup as captain, so I think he should be retained, and he will be retained. This will make four players and if there is a fifth player, then Tilak Verma will be retained.
Tilak Verma is one of those players who will be very useful in winning matches for Mumbai Indians in the future.” He further said, “Talking about bowling, I don’t think they would like to retain anyone else apart from Bumrah, so Nehal Wadhera can be a good option for them as an uncapped player. That is why he should be selected.”
