While Rohit Sharma was expected to move out of Mumbai, and possibly to RCB, Kolkata or other side, that doesnt appear to be the case now, going by the rumors in circulation.
Interestingly, barring Punjab, all other teams appear to be on course to exercise their right to retain 5 players. Punjab appears to have decided to retain only four players.
October 31st marks the last date for the retention of players and this is when things could go down the wire. There will be some serious drama and roller coaster turns in he next 10 days or so.
