Is Rohit Sharma’s Time with Mumbai Indians Over?
Cricket pundit Aakash Chopra has dropped a bombshell, suggesting that Rohit Sharma’s days as the captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI) might be numbered. Chopra believes that either Rohit himself may choose to leave the team or MI might decide to release him ahead of the IPL 2025 auction.
Chopra’s Prediction
In a recent YouTube video, Chopra shared his insights on Rohit’s future. While acknowledging that anything is possible, he expressed his personal belief that Rohit is unlikely to remain with MI. Chopra speculated that Rohit might explore a move to another team through the trade window or enter the auction if a trade doesn’t materialize.
The End of an Era
Chopra’s prediction marks the end of a highly successful era for Rohit Sharma and MI. The dynamic duo has been synonymous with the IPL, leading the franchise to five titles. However, Chopra feels that the time for a change might have come.
Hardik Pandya Takes Over
Ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, MI acquired Hardik Pandya from the Gujarat Titans and appointed him as their new captain. This marked the end of Rohit Sharma’s long and illustrious stint as MI’s leader.
As the IPL 2025 season approaches, cricket fans will be eagerly watching to see if Rohit Sharma’s journey with MI indeed comes to an end. The possibility of the five-time champions parting ways with their iconic captain is a major talking point in the cricketing world.
