Rohit Sharma has decided, 'Hitman' will play for this team in IPL 2025!
Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, one player who is in the most discussion is none other than Team India captain Rohit Sharma. The biggest reason behind this is the captaincy dispute that happened last season. After what happened between Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma, fans are eager to know whether Rohit Sharma will stay with Mumbai Indians this time or will move to some other team. Since last season, many such reports have come out that Rohit will leave Mumbai and join another team. However, now a new claim has been made about him. According to media reports, all his disputes with the franchise have been resolved. Nita Ambani's franchise has approved the retention of its former captain. At the same time, Rohit has also decided that he will stay in Mumbai. However, it has not been officially confirmed yet.
Mumbai Indians had included the then Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya in the team through a trade just before IPL 2024. The franchise had paid a huge amount for this. According to media reports, Mumbai had paid a transfer fee of Rs 100 crore. However, this could not be officially confirmed.
After this, when the franchise suddenly made Pandya the captain of the team, the fans were very angry. This is where the bitterness with Rohit also started. However, the latest report says that all the disputes have been resolved. Mumbai has said that Rohit Sharma is an important member of this family and they are ready to retain him.
Rohit Sharma got the captaincy of Mumbai Indians in 2013. As soon as he became the captain, he made the team win the trophy. After this, he also made Mumbai the champion of IPL in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. However, he failed to win the IPL trophy again for the next 3 years, after which he lost his captaincy.
In 2022, he got the captaincy of Team India, after which Team India played in the finals of the World Test Championship and the 2023 ODI World Cup. At the same time, they won the T20 World Cup 2024. Now it is being claimed that after this big success, Mumbai may retain him but will not make him the captain in the next season. Hardik Pandya will lead the team.
