- The biggest question is, will Rohit play for Mumbai
Agency, Mumbai. Preparations for IPL 2025 have started. Along with the fans, the franchises are also waiting for the auction. Meanwhile, discussions are also in full swing about the future of some big players. One of them is Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma has played for Mumbai Indians (MI) so far. Under his captaincy, Mumbai became champion five times (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020), but the last IPL was not very special.
After this, speculations are rife whether Rohit will play for Mumbai in IPL 2025 as well? Will the Mumbai team retain Rohit? If Rohit Sharma leaves Mumbai, which team will take him?
Punjab team can bet on Rohit Sharma
Along with other teams, Punjab (Punjab Kings) can also bet on Rohit Sharma. After the retirement of Shikhar Dhawan, the Punjab team is anyway looking for a captain. Rohit Sharma fits their requirement perfectly.
Although Punjab team co-owner Preity Zinta had refused to bet on Rohit Sharma during the 2024 auction, Punjab team’s Head of Cricket Development Sanjay Bangar has given positive signals.
Bangar says that it all (Rohit joining Punjab or not) depends on whether we have money in our pocket or not. If Rohit comes in the auction, I definitely believe that he will get a high price.
