IPL 2022 Retention: Mumbai Indians must hold on to Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard, and Ishan Kishan, says Irfan Pathan

Irfan Pathan said that RCB certainly will retain Virat Kohli and Australia’s destructive batsman Glenn Maxwell. However, he said that the RCB management will have a problem with the other two players on the retention list.

With the franchises getting ready to finalise the retention list of players for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, former India pacer Irfan Pathan feels that Mumbai Indians must retain captain Rohit Sharma, West Indies batsman Kieron Pollard, India Pacer Jasprit Bumrah and Ishan Kishan. Ahead of the mega auction of players for IPL 2022, Irfan Pathan revealed his choices that could make it on Mumbai Indians’ retention list.

“Rohit Sharma number 1, Jasprith Bumrah number 2, number 3 Kieron Pollard and number 4, I`m very clear on that, Ishan Kishan. He`s 23-years-old and has shown glimpses of what he can do and achieve. He`s a solid hitter when it comes to having a left-hand batsman at the top of the order and you can definitely invest in him because he will have at least 10 years of a good level of cricket, so Ishan Kishan,” Irfan said on the Star Sports show ‘Game Plan - IPL Retention Special’.

Irfan said that RCB certainly will retain Virat Kohli and Australia’s destructive batsman Glenn Maxwell. However, he said that the RCB management will have a problem with the other two players on the retention list.
