The auction saw some players retained by the franchises, while some had to change loyalties. As Nita Ambani, the owner of Mumbai Indians pointed out, it was indeed an emotional affair. And now, the Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma also got a little nostalgic about his team.

He has successfully led the Mumbai Indians to three title wins in the history of the tournament. The Mumbai franchise is the only team to have won the tournament thrice.

Over the years, the success mantra for the consistency of the Mumbai Indians has been their strategy to retain the core group of players. However, with this mega auctions taking place recently, a lot of the core members of the Mumbai camp moved to the other teams. Also, at the same time, new faces have been roped in by the MI think tank. Amidst this backdrop, Rohit Sharma got a little nostalgic about his champion side.
