As IPL 2025 nears, rumors swirl about Mumbai Indians keeping Rohit Sharma after Hardik Pandya took over as captain.
Fan Expectations
Many fans hope Rohit Sharma will bring his vast experience to Royal Challengers Bangalore, still chasing their first title.
Ashwin's Insights
Ravichandran Ashwin cautions against RCB pursuing Rohit Sharma, suggesting a ₹20 crore bid would be necessary.
Rohit’s Legacy
Rohit Sharma has led Mumbai Indians to five IPL titles, a record tied with Chennai Super Kings, since joining in 2011.
A Shift in Leadership
In IPL 2024, Rohit was replaced by Hardik Pandya, under whom MI struggled, finishing last with just four wins.
Ashwin expressed skepticism on his YouTube channel, stating the feasibility of RCB's pursuit doesn't seem practical.
Rohit’s Achievements
Rohit is MI’s all-time leading run scorer with 5,731 runs at an average of 29.69 and a strike rate of 131.05.
As captain, Rohit has led MI in 158 matches with 87 wins, 67 losses, and four draws.
With a disappointing 2024 season behind them, MI focuses on bouncing back in the upcoming IPL mega auction.
