IPL 2018: Retained players XI

Bhuvi has won the Purple Cap in the last two seasons

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The top five wicket-takers in the history of the IPL weren't retained by their respective IPL sides, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar's incredible form over the last few years ensured that SRH retained him along with David Warner. With 111 wickets in 90 matches, he has the most wickets by an Indian fast bowler in IPL history and he will be looking to extend that record in IPL 2018.

Jasprit Bumrah

Ever since he broke through into the MI ranks, Bumrah has been a revelation. He just made his Test debut against South Africa but he has been incredible in limited-overs cricket for India. In the IPL, his ability to nail the yorkers at the death, makes him almost unplayable at times. Still young, MI made the easy call of retaining him ahead of IPL 2018.
