The IPL 2025 season is coming up next year, and everyone is eagerly waiting for the mega auction. Many players will be part of this auction, but the main focus has been on Rohit Sharma. There were rumors that Mumbai Indians (MI) might release him. However, new reports on social media claim that MI is planning to retain their long-time captain, Rohit Sharma.
According to these reports, Mumbai Indians are ready to keep Rohit for the next season. It’s also said that MI management is willing to meet Rohit’s demands. But even if he is retained, it’s not clear yet if he will be made captain again.
Captaincy Taken Away Last Year
In IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians removed Rohit Sharma as captain and appointed Hardik Pandya as the new leader. Hardik was traded to MI from Gujarat Titans. During the season, there were rumors that Rohit’s relationship with MI management and Hardik Pandya wasn’t good. Despite Hardik’s leadership, Mumbai Indians didn’t perform well and ended up at the bottom of the points table.
Ravichandran Ashwin’s Big Statement
Recently, Ravichandran Ashwin made a statement regarding Rohit Sharma’s future with Mumbai Indians. He said that for big players, there comes a time in their career when money isn’t the main factor. They just want to play cricket in a good environment.
This new update has left fans wondering whether Rohit will continue to be the face of MI and if he will regain his captaincy in the upcoming season.
