IPL 2025: 3 players MI might retain ahead of the mega-auction

3. Jasprit Bumrah

Ace Indian pacer, Jasprit Bumrah could be another potential retention for Mumbai in the upcoming mega auctions. The seamer has been instrumental in all five of MI's championship victories. The franchise's early trust in Bumrah pushed his career, leading to his inclusion in the Indian national team across all formats and his rise into becoming one of the best bowlers in the world.

Bumrah had an exceptional 2024 season, where he claimed 20 wickets in 13 matches with an economy of 6.48. As the team's leading wicket-taker, he's set to spearhead MI's bowling attack once again. His stellar form continued into the recent T20 World Cup, where he played a crucial role in India's second title victory. Bumrah's outstanding performance earned him the Player of the Series award with 15 wickets.
