The anticipation of the fans was answered as the IPL teams announced their retention lists for the next edition of the tournament on October 31. Mumbai Indians, one of the most successful franchises in the league's history, retained their 'Big Four' in Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav. Alongside these players, they have also retained the youngster Tilak Varma. 

However, due to the retention rules, the MI management failed to retain some promising youngsters. The franchise will target some of these players to use the RTM or repurchase them at the auction. While they look to reform their squad, here are a few released MI youngsters who can start a bidding war among the franchises during the auction. 

3. Naman Dhir

The young all-rounder was batting in the franchise's top order last season. Naman Dhir showed great promise as a batter despite not getting big scores. The fact that he is a seam-bowling all-rounder also makes him a much-wanted entity in the auction. With the skill set that he brings to the table, many teams might try to make him a part of their squad, so he might start a bidding war during the event.

2. Akash Madhwal

The young pacer emerged as an asset for the Mumbai Indians during his time with the team. Especially in the IPL 2023, Akash Madhwal showed great temperament and skill when he practically led the bowling unit without Jasprit Bumrah. In the 13 matches Madhwal has played for the Mumbai Indians, he has picked up 19 wickets at an average of 22.32. A young Indian pacer will be something all the teams will look for during the auction. There is a chance that Madhwal will see a bidding war going up for him, increasing his wages significantly.

1. Nehal Wadhera

The young Indian batter impressed in the little opportunities he got for the Mumbai Indians. Nehal Wadhera has scored 350 runs for the franchise in 20 matches at a strike rate of 140.00. The most impressive thing was the temperament he showed in a couple of knocks when the team was under pressure. An Indian left-handed middle-order batter will be high-value in the mega auction. In addition, the skill and temperament Wadhera has shown, he will surely start a bidding war among the franchises.
