Mumbai Indians have been the most successful team in IPL history overall and they will be looking to retain their core of the team which has performed really over the years. They have won five titles so far and the reason behind their success has been the players they have been picking up in the auction.

Here are the 3 players Mumbai Indians might retain for IPL 2022.

3 Players Mumbai Indians (MI) Might Retain:

Rohit Sharma:

The skipper of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma has captained the franchise fantastically after taking over the reins in 2013 and he remains an integral part of the franchise. He has been performing consistently at the top of the order for India as well as for Mumbai Indians. He has four international T20 centuries and has grown extensively as a batsman in the format.

Rohit can play the attacking game at the top as well as can be very good with the chases of low scores. He is an excellent timer of the cricket ball and is one of the best exponents of playing the pull shot. He can take the game away from the opponent in a quick time and will be the first player to be retained by the franchise.

Jasprit Bumrah:

Jasprit Bumrah will be a big surprise if he isn’t retained as he has had a great impact over the success of the Mumbai Indians. He is one of the leading bowlers in the world in all formats and plays a vital role for India as well as the franchise. His ability to hit the yorkers consistently and bowl the difficult overs makes him a standout bowler from others.

He had a great IPL last year picking up 27 wickets and was the second-highest wicket-taker in the edition. He has been very economical and has been taking wickets regular for the Mumbai Indians over the years and he has continued his supremacy in Indian colours too. He is one of the best death bowlers going around and can hit the 140kmph mark consistently.

Kieron Pollard:

Kieron Pollard has been serving the Mumbai Indians after being picked up in 2009 for a long time now and he still has the goods to deliver for the team. He was in scintillating form recently scoring 87 off 34 balls and pulling off a stunning victory for Mumbai Indians over the Chennai Super Kings when the odds were against them.

He has tremendous power and is one of the best strikers of the cricket ball. His match-winning abilities make him a crucial part of the plans of the Mumbai Indians and he takes some outstanding catches in the field too. He is certain to be retained as the overseas player by the franchise if the mega auction takes next year.
