Possible Release of Hardik Pandya
Meanwhile, some news is coming out from the Mumbai Indians team. Although there is no truth in this news at present, it is disturbing. According to reports, Mumbai Indians are considering releasing captain Hardik Pandya. So there is a possibility of a big upheaval in the mega auction. Mumbai Indians signed Hardik Pandya through the trade window before the 2024 tournament. He was also given the captaincy. However, the performance of Mumbai Indians during his career remained poor. What’s more, they failed to get a place in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians franchise is said to be preparing to release Hardik Pandya. Due to this, Hardik’s fans are unsettled.

Retention Rules and Mumbai Indians’ Potential Changes
As per IPL rules, the mega auction is held every three years. Each team is allowed to retain only four players. Due to this, the tension of teams with veteran players has increased. On the other hand, there is talk of increasing the number of retentions this time. Instead of four, five players may be allowed to retain this time. But BCCI has not officially said anything about this. So the question of who to keep in the team and who to release remains.
Sources have informed that Mumbai Indians will keep Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, and Jasprit Bumrah in the team no matter what. Hardik Pandya is likely to be released. Currently the leadership of Team India is in the hands of Suryakumar Yadav. So Rohit Sharma can play comfortably under him if he is entrusted with the leadership. Therefore, it will be clear in the coming time whether these discussions remain discussions or come true. Everything will be clear before the mega auction.
