IPL 2018: 5 players Mumbai Indians should retain

#1 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma

'Hitman' Sharma is one of the best openers today. He paces his innings very well and has the appetite to score big runs. He was bought by the Mumbai Indians in 2011. The Mumbai boy has been very good for his side, captaining his team to victory in the 2013, 2015 and 2017 editions of the tournament. He struggled to find form in the previous season, but Mumbai would be happy to see the skipper back in form now.

Rohit Sharma is the third highest run-scorer in IPL history, scoring 4,207 runs in 159 games at an average of 32.61 and a strike rate of 130.89. He has a century and 32 half-centuries to his name and his best score in the tournament is an unbeaten 109. Sharma has smashed 172 sixes in the IPL and has remained not out 25 times.

Mumbai Indians should retain their skipper for the next season.
