5 players Mumbai Indians would want to retain

#1 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has been one of the most consistent performers over the years

Arguably, the best Indian opener in limited overs cricket at the moment, Rohit Sharma will definitely be the first player Mumbai would want to retain. Ever since joining the side, he has been one of the most consistent players in the IPL.

He has lead Mumbai to three IPL titles and is the third highest run-scorer in the history of the tournament. Although he was not at his best with the bat this season, it was the 30-year-old’s captaincy that stood out.

And, along with all this, Rohit is a local Mumbaiker, which means that the fans have a special corner in their heart for the skipper and can find more traction with the team. He is an icon player for Mumbai, in the true sense of the word. It is impossible to imagine Rohit donning any other jersey in the IPL.
