The 'man of the match' award winner in the final of last season, Krunal Pandya was retained by Mumbai Indians through RTM for INR 8,80,00,000.

His consistency was a remarkable factor for his team to emerge champions in 2017. The left-hander's return to MI was self-evident, given his performance in the last season, where he scored 243 runs and scalped ten wickets.

The only unanticipated was the price-tag, which experienced a hike due to the bidding war between three franchises.
