Will Mumbai Indians Buy Yuzvendra Chahal In IPL 2025 Mega Auction? Aakash Chopra Answers
“Their batting has become strong once again. The problem is that they have only one bowler, who is a four-over bank, but you need more bowlers. Bowling let them down last time as well. They used to score runs, 225 to 250, but used to concede that many as well,” Aakash said on his YouTube channel
“So they had so much overdependence on the batting to fire and scoring 20-40 runs above par every time is a bit too much. They might have an entire Indian batting lineup and an overseas bowling lineup, with a couple of Indian spinners. They will definitely go after Yuzi Chahal. I don’t know whether they will get him or not. They might want to keep Washington Sundar,” Chopra added.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians ended up retaining Jasprit Bumrah for Rs 18 crore alongside Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav for Rs 16.35 crore. India’s skipper Rohit Sharma was the other one to be retained by the Mumbai-based team for Rs 16.3 crore while Tilak Verma got Rs 8 crore.
