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.

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."
