Rohit Sharma to be Retained by Mumbai Indians For Rs 18 Cr: REPORT

While speculations over Rohit Sharma 's IPL future has been rife, the latest is that MI is likely to retain him for Rs 18 Cr. A report on InsideSport claims that MI may retain him ahead of the IPL auction. This means if he is the first retention, who would be the others to be retained? Not long back, former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh had stated that if Rohit enters the auction, he could fetch big bucks. 

“It will be interesting to see whether he will be retained or not. If he goes into the auction pool, it will be fascinating to see which team bids for him. I’m sure many teams must be thinking along those lines,” said Harbhajan on sidelines of an event in Delhi.

“Rohit Sharma, as a leader and a player, is amazing. He’s a top-quality player, top-quality captain, and leader. He’s a proven match-winner. Even at 37, he still has a lot of cricket left in him. If Rohit enters the auction, he will fetch big bucks. It will be exciting to see the auction unfold,” he added.
