Rohit Sharma to the Lucknow Super Giants next season? LSG head coach Justin Langer won’t mind!
During a lighthearted chat with a social media influencer, Shubham Gaur, Langer offered a glimpse into his strategic thinking for the upcoming IPL mega auction in 2025. When asked to name his dream pick for the if every player is available, the former Australian opener gave a sweet reaction on the prospect of buying IPL legend Rohit Sharma.
Recognizing the near impossibility of luring Rohit away from his longtime franchise Mumbai Indians, Langer chuckled and remarked, “Rohit Sharma? We are going to get him from Mumbai? You (influencer) better be the negotiator. Because I can’t see how that’s gonna happen.“
Langer’s playful exchange sheds light on two key aspects of the IPL. Firstly, it highlights the immense value Rohit Sharma holds within the league. As a proven leader and powerful hitter up top, Rohit is an invaluable asset to any team he represents. Secondly, Langer’s comment underscores the high stakes involved in the upcoming mega auction, with every team looking forward to bagging as many big players as they can.
