There is no arguing the fact that Rohit Sharma will be the first choice in the retention list of MI. He was to who turned the fortunes of MI in IPL 2013.

Under him, Mumbai Indians have managed to bag five titles and become the most successful team in the history of IPL. Rohit Sharma should be the first player to be played by MI and is likely to lead MI in IPL 2022.

Rohit Sharma’s number as a batsman for MI has gone down over the last few years. He would be aware of that and would want to work on that.

Mumbai Indians won’t even think to leave a player like Jasprit Bumrah from the squad. After Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah should be the second one to be retained by MI. A true match-winner, Jasprit Burmah has been a valuable asset for MI over the years.

Every time the team was in trouble, Bumrah got them the breakthroughs. Time and again he has shown why he is one of the best bowlers across formats in the current era. Bumrah picked 21 wickets in 14 matches in IPL 2021 at an economy of under 8.

Mumbai Indians is definitely spoilt for choices when it comes to the third pick. Suryakumar Yadav endured a poor run for the majority of the IPL 2021 season. However, in the last league match against SRH, he showed why he is a must-have player for any team in T20 cricket.

Yadav relies on timing but has the ability to hit boundaries from the onset and on a regular basis. A dependable player at the top of the order, Mumbai Indians would want to retain him ahead of IPL 2022 mega auction. In 14 matches, he managed to score 317 runs in IPL 2021 at an average of 22.64.
