IPL Auction 2020: 4 most expensive players retained this season

Modified Dec 02, 2019 18:03 IST

#2 Rohit Sharma - INR 15 crore

Rohit Sharma is the reason Mumbai Indians can brag about being the most successful team in IPL history. The Mumbai-born batsman joined the team in 2011, and before that MI had never won the tournament. However, since Rohit was made the captain in 2013, the franchise has won the IPL trophy four times.

Apart from being a skillful captain, the right-handed batsman has also been phenomenal as a player in the 12 years of the IPL. He has played 188 IPL matches, scoring 4,898 runs at an average of 31.60. His strike rate of 130.82 is not too shabby either.

Although Rohit couldn't quite light up the tournament in 2017 and 2018, he produced standout performances in the 2019 edition. The 'Hitman' scored 405 runs in 15 matches to inspire Mumbai Indians to their fourth IPL championship.

Not surprisingly, the Mukesh Ambani-owned franchise have kept him in their squad at INR 15 crore.
