‘Feel he will not stay’

"Will he stay or will he go? It's a big question. Personally, I feel he will not stay. Whoever is retained will be with the thinking that he will remain with you for three years, unless your name is MS Dhoni . MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings ' story is very different but Rohit Sharma at MI, I feel he might himself leave or MI might leave him," he said on his YouTube channel.

"Anything can happen but I don't think Rohit is going to be retained here. I don't have any information but I feel Rohit will probably be released. He might go to someone in the trade window, that's a possibility that he doesn't go to the auction, but if that doesn't happen, he might be seen in the auction. I feel his journey with the Mumbai Indians is over," the former India opener added.

The ace commentator also believes that Suryakumar Yadav would get retained by the franchise. 

"What are you asking? I don't think Suryakumar Yadav will be traded. I haven't heard anything like that. The Mumbai Indians won't leave Suryakumar Yadav and I feel Surya also won't leave either," he said on his youtube channel.

Suryakumar has recently been appointed as India's T20I captain after Rohit retired from the format following the victorious T20 WC run.
