As Rohit Sharma will continue playing for Mumbai Indians, he said, “I have played so much cricket in Mumbai, this is the place where I started my cricket career. So this city is very, very special. Obviously, when you play for such a long time, you create so many memories with the team.”
“We haven’t had the best of the season in the last two or three years. But we are quite determined to change that.”
Bumrah, retained for INR 18 crore, is now MI’s highest-paid player, marking a milestone in his IPL career. Both Hardik and Suryakumar were retained at INR 16.35 crore each, while Rohit was kept on board for INR 16.30 crore. Tilak Varma’s retention cost was INR 8 crore.
On being the fourth-highest earner for MI in the retention list, Rohit said, “Since I have retired from the format, I think this is the perfect [retention] spot for me. The players who are representing the national team at the highest level should get the preference. That’s what I believe in and I am quite happy with it,” said Rohit.
