Split in the mumbai team..!! Departing star players..!!
All the teams are gearing up for the IPL 2025 season. The mega auction for the series is expected to take place in December. Many players are likely to be transferred in this auction. Each team is expected to retain four to five players before this mega auction. In this context, the first player can be retained for 16 crore rupees and the second player for 12 crore rupees. This is how the last IPL 2022 auction was held. In this situation, bumrah received a salary of just 12 crore rupees last time in the mumbai Indians team. Many bowlers were highly paid.
And bumrah is asking for the captaincy. Similarly, suryakumar yadav has also asked for the captaincy. In this context, the mumbai team is thinking whether to retain rohit sharma or to retain him as the second or third player. If you do that, Rohit Sharma's salary will also decrease. As a result, it seems that at least two or three-star players are likely to leave the mumbai Indians team. In this situation, mumbai Indians have only one weapon in their hands if they have to fix players like bumrah, Suryakumar, and Rohit Sharma. For example, if bumrah is picked by CSK for 18 crore rupees, then we can say that the mumbai team, where bumrah has already played, will pay the same amount and we will take Bumrah. This is the power of that right-to-match card.
It looks like two or three match cards will be given in the upcoming mega auction. Keeping this in mind, the mumbai Indians team is thinking of retaining players like bumrah, Suryakumar, and rohit sharma who want to leave the team using the right-to-match card.
