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.”
Pollard rated Pandya as one of the great “all-rounders” India has ever produced, and believed that fans will ‘sing praises for him’ soon.
For the UAE League, 'MI Emirates' will be the name of the franchise while in South Africa, it will be 'MI Cape Town'. Both teams will don the iconic blue and gold of the Mumbai Indians franchise in the IPL as the franchise and owners go global in the T20 franchise league world.
Rohit said that he would like to restrict Delhi so that his batters can bat freely. He said they want to finish the IPL 2022 on a high.
Despite being in fourth place in the points table, Bangalore's chances of making the playoffs are entirely dependent on Delhi losing to Mumbai in the tournament's second-to-last league match.
The Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai are currently 10th and last on the points table, but Varma has stood out for his fine batting, averaging nearly 41 in the 12 games he has played so far in his debut season.
Symonds was a key member of Australia's World Cup victories in 2003 and 2007, as well as a regular in the ODI side under Ricky Ponting's captaincy. Symonds, who was aggressive and flamboyant, was tailor-made for the T20 format and was involved in the IPL from its inception.
