Rohit Sharma: There was a lot of turmoil in Mumbai Indians during IPL 2024. Just before the start of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League, this franchise removed Rohit Sharma from the captaincy. In his place, all-rounder Hardik Pandya was given the command of the team. Hardik had joined this team again after being traded from Gujarat Titans.
However, this move of the team owned by Nita Ambani backfired. Last season, this team was at the last position in the points table, let alone reaching the playoffs. Also, there were reports of a rift between Rohit and Hardik and it was being said that the Hitman will leave Mumbai Indians in the next season.
Now, one of his close friends has put an end to these speculations.Rohit Sharma will remain with Mumbai Indians!
After the rift with Mumbai Indians during the last IPL season, there were reports in the media that Rohit Sharma would join some other franchise in the next season. Obviously, last season MI removed the five-time champion captain from this post without his knowledge. Due to this, Rohit was very upset. The tension between him and Hardik was clearly visible even on the field.
However, despite all this, the Hitman may remain with his old franchise in IPL 2025. Rohit Sharma's close friend Pragyan Ojha has given a hint about this. In fact, during a recent interview, the former Indian cricketer said that Rohit should continue playing for Mumbai Indians.
After hearing this, fans are assuming that Rohit will be seen in the blue jersey in the 18th edition as well.Watch the video here:

Mumbai Indians can retain
The 18th season of the Indian Premier League is going to be even more interesting. In fact, a mega auction will be organized before the next season. Also, according to the rules of BCCI, all teams will have the permission to retain only 4-5 players. So, as far as Mumbai Indians is concerned, if Rohit Sharma does not leave this team voluntarily, then this franchise can retain him.
