IPL 2021 might be the last time Mumbai Indians fans see Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Jasprit Bumrah playing together for them, with next season’s mega-auction just around the corner.
Even though the exact rules of the IPL mega auction are yet to be announced, rumor has it that each franchise will be allowed to retain a maximum of three players.
Former India batsman Virender Sehwag feels MI should pick skipper Rohit Sharma, wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan and star pacer Jasprit Bumrah leaving ‘all-rounder’ Hardik Pandya as Sehwag.

“I think I will retain Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. Looks like Ishaan is in this for the long haul, age is on his side so he can serve you better. If Hardik Pandya doesn’t bowl, I don’t think he will be able to fetch big money in the auction because everyone will think twice because of his injury.
Hardik hasn’t bowled this season and is expected to make a comeback soon, but Schwag believes Ishaan is a much ‘better’ pick.

“Will he bowl or not? If he can declare himself fit and start bowling, the teams can buy him in the auction. The kind of performance Ishan Kishan has done today, expect a lot more in the times to come as there is a top-order batsman unlike Hardik Pandya, who bats at the bottom,” Sehwag said.
