On the final day of IPL 2024 retentions on 26 November, the Mumbai Indians released a total of 11 players including England fast bowler Jofra Archer, Hrithik Shokeen, Jhye Richardson, Arshad Khan, Tristan Stubbs and Duan Jansen.
While there was much talk about Hardik Pandya's transfer to his old franchise from Gujarat Titans, his name was missing from the list shared by the IPL on Sunday evening.
However, with the trading window still open till 12 December, Mumbai Indians pulled off a coup on Monday to announce that Pandya was indeed returning to his first IPL franchise, in an all-cash deal, that did however force the franchise to transfer out Cameron Green to Royal Challengers Bangalore.
With Green gone, Mumbai just have four overseas players on their roster inclduing Tim David, Dewald Brevis, Jason Behrendorff and Romario Shepherd.
Going into the 19 December auction in Dubai, Mumbai now have Rs 17.75 to spend in their auction purse.
