Sunil Gavaskar wrote on his Mid Day column, ‘If we talk about domestic matches, defending Ranji Trophy winner Mumbai has dropped Prithvi Shaw from its team. Different reports are coming out regarding him. If it is a matter of indiscipline then I have no problem with it but it has nothing to do with his weight. A report is also coming out that Prithvi Shaw’s body fat is more than 35%. You can also see Sarfaraz Khan: Sunil Gavaskar Giving the example of Sarfaraz Khan, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘Sarfaraz Khan batted brilliantly and scored 150 runs in the first Test match played in Bengaluru. He also weighs a lot but despite that the young batsman batted the whole day and scored 150 runs. By the way, how many players are there with zero percent or minimum body fat who have scored 379 runs like Prithvi Shaw? I want to ask you this question. I would like to end my talk through fitness. Let us tell you that Prithvi Shaw has always performed well in Indian domestic cricket but he has failed to leave his mark at the international level.

Currently, Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans have shown interest in including Washington Sundar in their team.

MI can retain these players including Hardik, Bumrah – Harbhajan Singh made a big prediction
The performance of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 was very disappointing. Hardik Pandya, Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma. (Image Source: Instagram) 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.”
