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.
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.
The performance of left-arm Australian pacer Daniel Sams, who took three wickets for 16 runs against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday, impressed the former New Zealand pace bowler. Mumbai Indians chased down the target in the 15th over for the loss of five wickets.
