Player retention is the backbone of any IPL team’s strategy. It’s about building a team identity and maintaining consistency. When a team retains its core players, it sends a strong message of trust and loyalty, which in turn creates a solid foundation for success.
For a powerhouse like Mumbai Indians , retentions are even more critical. They’ve always been about stability, supporting proven performers, and nurturing young talent to step up when it matters most.
It’s all about getting the balance right and ensuring the Paltan stays strong for another run at the title. Here’s a look at MI’s retained players.
