As international cricket builds towards the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 super auction, India captain Rohit Sharma future with the Mumbai Indians has become the talk of the town. Though the regulations and auction date have not yet been officially announced by the IPL council, there are many rumors that Mumbai may release Rohit or that the former captain of the team may split up to make himself available for the auction. Aakash Chopra, a former cricket player for India, also believes the rumors of Rohit’s affiliation with the Lucknow Super Giants.
After the all-rounder Hardik Pandya was unexpectedly appointed captain of Mumbai last December, the chemistry between Rohit and the team deteriorated. There were whispers that something was amiss in the Mumbai dressing room, pointing to a potential cold war between Hardik and the seasoned opener, even if Rohit never returned MI’s call.
In response to a question from a fan on his YouTube channel, Aakash predicted that Rohit’s 10-year tenure as the captain of the Mumbai Indians, which included five championship victories, was over. He speculated that the team may either release him before the auction or trade him to another team.
“Is he going to stay or go? That’s a serious query. In my opinion, he won’t stay. Unless your name is MS Dhoni, whoever is retained will be with the understanding that he will stay with you for three years. While the stories of MS Dhoni and the Chennai Super Kings are completely different, Rohit Sharma at MI seems like he might quit MI or MI might leave him,” the man stated.
“Though anything can happen, I don’t think Rohit will stay here.” Although I don’t know anything, I have a feeling that Rohit will be freed. He could visit someone at the trade window; he might not attend the auction, but in the event that he does, he might be observed there. The former KKR batsman continued, “I feel like his time with the Mumbai Indians is done.”
LSG to Rohit Sharma?
Strong rumors suggest that Rohit would sign with LSG, as the team’s owners are eager to get the captain of the T20 World Cup. Sanjeev Goenka, the owner of LSG, said that Rohit is on his wishlist but refuted reports that the team had set aside INR 50 crores to purchase the India captain at auction.
Tell me one thing, Goenka stated in an interview with India Today last month following the announcement of Zaheer Khan as the new team mentor. Is Rohit Sharma going to be present for the action? The whole rumor is unfounded. Must watch to see if MI gives Rohit Sharma back. Next, we need to find out if Rohit opens himself up for bids. If you spend half of your cash on one guy, even if he does, how will you be able to get the other 22 players?
“Everyone has a wishlist to have the best captain and player with you,” the billionaire said in response to the question of whether Rohit will be a part of LSG’s plans should he put himself up for auction. However, this is similar to “if wishes were horses.” It’s not about my desires. It’s about utilizing the resources at your disposal. Whatever I want, every franchise will want the same thing. You won’t be able to obtain everything.
