Full list of players retained and released by the teams ahead of IPL Auction 2017

Mumbai Indians

Rohit Sharma has a settled squad to work with ahead of the auction

No side has retained more players than Mumbai Indians have going into this year’s auction despite the fact that last year was the first time since 2009 that they didn’t qualify for the playoffs. One of the most consistent sides, they let go of two of the most destructive Kiwi players in Corey Anderson and Martin Guptill.

With the least budget of any side going into IPL Auction 2017, Mumbai will certainly need to be careful about who they splash their cash on. But with a squad that has options in every department, they have a settled squad that only needs a few minor tweaks.

Players Retained: Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Lasith Malinga, Hardik Pandya, Parthiv Patel, Harbhajan Singh, Ambati Rayudu, Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Gopal, Lendl Simmons, R Vinay Kumar, Mitchell McClenghan, J Suchith, Siddesh Lad, Jos Buttler, Nitish Rana, Tim Southee, Jitesh Sharma, Krunal Pandya and Deepak Punia.

Released players: Martin Guptill, Corey Anderson, Marchant de Lange, Unmukt Chand, Akshay Wakhare, Nathu Singh, Kishore Pramod Kamath, Jerome Taylor.

Purse spent: INR 54.445 crore

Purse remaining: INR 11.550 crore
