Amidst the array of batters being retained by their teams ahead of IPL 2025, India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah became the top retention pick of five-time champions Mumbai Indians.
Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians have announced that they have retained their core players — Jasprit Bumrah, Surya Kumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Tilak Varma ahead of IPL 2025 season.
However, Mumbai Indians' West Indies batter Romario Shepherd said they are thinking about how many points they will end up with eventually and their focus is only on winning every game.
According to a statement from the IPL, David and Pollard committed a Level 1 offence under Article 2.20 of the IPL’s code of conduct. “Both admitted to the offence and accepted the match referee’s sanction.”
The 40-year-old has certainly not forgotten about his skill with the bat and single handedly steered his team to the finish line and reinstated his name as one of the best finishers of the game.
Dwayne Bravo (2/36), Mitchell Santner (1/16) and Maheesh Theekshana (1/35) were the wicket-takers for CSK leaving only Choudhary without a wicket in the first innings.
MI skipper Rohit Sharma has a lot of work to do as the team is currently rock bottom in the league with 0 points with the league leaders Gujarat Titans sitting on top with ten points from six games.
The afternoon match taking place between the Mumbai Indians and the Lucknow Super Giants will see Mumbai trying their best to pick their maiden win this time whereas Lucknow would be looking to gain some momentum after their narrow defeat against Rajasthan Royals last time round.
Zaheer also said that it was imperative for bowlers to be aware of match situations to be able to get on top of the batters.
