On November 26, Mumbai Indians, the five-time IPL champions, unveiled their list of player retentions and releases ahead of the IPL 2024 mini-auction scheduled for December 19. Led by Rohit Sharma, the team bid farewell to 11 players, including Mohammed Arshad Khan, Ramandeep Singh, Hrithik Shokeen, Raghav Goyal, Jofra Archer, Tristan Stubbs, Duan Jansen, Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith, Chris Jordan, and Sandeep Warrier.
In the 2023 season, Mumbai Indians secured the fourth spot on the points table, winning eight out of 14 matches and accumulating 16 points. Despite reaching Qualifier Two, their journey concluded with a 62-run defeat against Gujarat Titans.
Leading up to the retention deadline, speculations circulated about Hardik Pandya’s return to Mumbai Indians, fueled by reports of a substantial investment of INR 15 crores and an undisclosed transfer fee. However, these reports were debunked as the all-rounder has been retained by Gujarat Titans.
