It was not an easy decision to pick the 4th player: Zaheer on MI's retentions

MI's Director of Cricket Operations Zaheer Khan has said while there was nothing much to think about in retaining Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Kieron Pollard, the decision to pick the fourth player was not easy. "We had players with great potential...Ishan, Hardik, Rahul Chahar, Krunal, the list is huge," he stated. MI retained Suryakumar Yadav for ₹8 crore.
