3 reasons why Suryakumar Yadav should be retained by MI ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction

Suryakumar Yadav has been one of the top T20 batters not just for India but also across the world. Since 2018 there has been no bigger and better batter than Suryakumar Yadav in the IPL. His form has seen him get the call-up to the Indian Cricket Team and now he is the captain of the national T20 side. 

Mumbai Indians first unveiled Suryakumar Yadav to the world in 2011 during the Champions League. The right-handed batter wasn’t given much game time and this prompted a move to Kolkata Knight Riders. It was under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir that Yadav became the household name he is today. 

As the IPL 2025 Auction draws closer one has to wonder that Suryakumar Yadav will be at the top of the list as far as retentions are concerned. The 33-year-old has been a key part of the Mumbai Indians over the last few years. 

Here are the top three reasons why Suryakumar Yadav will be retained by Mumbai Indians ahead of IPL 2025

3- Ideal candidate for captaincy 

After Mumbai Indians finished last in the table, there are questions over the future of Hardik Pandya as the captain. There is a clamor from the fans to make Suryakumar Yadav the captain of the time. If Hardik Pandya isn’t retained there is a good chance that Suryakumar Yadav will be given the reins of the team. This will be a welcome sight for the Mumbai fans who haven’t won the title for the last 4 years. 

2- Key part of the future 

Nita Ambani and the reliance family will want Suryakumar Yadav to be part of the Mumbai setup for a long time. The batter is a key part of the men in blue and gold as far as the branding of the team is concerned. Till now it has been Rohit Sharma who has been at the forefront but with the likes of Suryakumar Yadav gaining more fame the batter could soon become the billboard’s favorite as far as the face of MI is concerned. 

1- The biggest X-Factor in the league 

Suryakumar Yadav without doubt is the biggest X-Factor in the league. Mumbai Indians will want to hold on to the services of Yadav not just for his ability to play crucial knocks but also to become the batting mainstay and lead them to another title win.
