Rohit Sharma: Before the start of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024), Mumbai Indians surprised everyone and removed Rohit Sharma from the captaincy. Rohit Sharma, who made Mumbai the IPL champion 5 times in the last decade, is playing just as a player this time. In his place, Hardik Pandya has been appointed as the new captain of the team.

After Rohit was removed from the captaincy, news came that he may leave Mumbai Indians before IPL 2024. But this did not happen. However, now Hitman can enter the mega auction next year. Amidst these speculations, the owner of an IPL franchise has given a big statement.

Targeted at Mumbai Indians

Actually, the owner of Delhi Capitals has targeted the management of Mumbai Indians over the removal of Rohit Sharma from the captaincy. DC co-owner Parth Jindal said in his recent interview that if Rohit Sharma had made Delhi Capitals a 5-time IPL champion, he would not have even thought of removing him from the captaincy and the Delhi Capitals' Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium (Arun Jaitley Stadium) should have been named after Rohit. However, this interview cannot be confirmed, this claim has been made only by sources on social media.

Rohit Sharma will hold the hand of Delhi Capitals

Mumbai Indians had removed Rohit Sharma from the captaincy even before the IPL 2024 auction in December 2023. After this, news came that many other franchises had approached Mumbai Indians to include Rohit in their team, which also includes the name of Delhi Capitals. But MI did not release Hitman. However, there is going to be a mega auction of IPL next year, in which Rohit Sharma can also enter the field and then DC can spend a huge amount to buy him.

Rohit Sharma is in great form

Rohit Sharma is scoring a lot of runs in IPL 2024. He scored 43 runs against Gujarat and played a stormy inning of 49 runs against Delhi. Apart from this, 26 runs came from his bat also against Hyderabad. Even though Rohit seems to be in good touch, his team Mumbai Indians has failed to show good performance. They faced back to back defeats in the first 3 matches of the season. However, last Sunday they achieved their first win of the season by defeating Delhi Capitals.
