Losing the franchise captaincy might have been a tough pill to swallow for Rohit, but winning the Twenty20 World Cup has certainly brought him and his fans immense joy. Week in and week out, Sharma ji has showcased his incredible talent, keeping his name in the headlines. Now, as reports emerge, he is once again the talk of the town.
Rohit, the five-time Indian T20 League champion and the backbone of the Mumbai squad for over a decade, is all set to be retained by the franchise ahead of the Indian T20 League 2025 auction. This revelation comes from cricket journalist Rohit Juglan, who shared the news on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle. For fans of the Mumbai, who have witnessed the heights Sharma has taken their team to during his captaincy, this is indeed exciting news.
Earlier, rumours had spread that Rohit might leave Mumbai before the Indian T20 League 2025, with teams like Delhi and Lucknow reportedly eager to acquire him at any cost. These speculations gained traction after Sharma was replaced as captain by Pandya ahead of Indian T20 League 2024, a move that reportedly left Sharma unhappy. However, it now appears that the Mumbai franchise has reconsidered its stance and doesn’t want to risk losing one of its most iconic players.
As the dust settles, it seems that Rohit will continue to be a central figure for Mumbai, much to the delight of his fans and the franchise alike. His experience and leadership have been instrumental in the team’s success, and retaining him for Indian T20 League 2025 could be a strategic move to ensure continued success.
For now, all eyes will be on how Rohit and Mumbai prepare for the upcoming seasons, with the Hitman once again expected to play a pivotal role in the team’s journey.
