IPL 2018: 5 star players who are unlikely to be retained by Mumbai Indians

#1 Parthiv Patel

Parthiv Patel has been a constant presence at the top of the order for Mumbai Indians

Parthiv Patel has enjoyed three fruitful years with the Mumbai Indians since his arrival in 2015. He was a part of the title-winning squad in the same year and has provided stability at the top of the order. While his partners have changed, he has remained constant for Mumbai Indians as an opener for the past three years.

Although he has performed consistently over the course of the last few seasons, Parthiv may not make the cut as only three capped Indian players are allowed to be retained. As a consequence, it is highly likely that he will go back into the auction pool.
