Rohit Sharma to Leave Mumbai Indians?
With Rishabh Pant back for IPL 2024 but in a limited capacity, the Capitals need a captain to take charge of the team. The Delhi outfits need a captain for their side that can win the title. And Rohit Sharma who has won the coveted 5 times can be a perfect fit.
Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh has dropped hints that the ex MI skipper can move out. Chennai Super Kings dropped a heartfelt post on social media paying homage to Rohit’s achievements for the Paltans as the captain. Ritika Sajdeh commented on CSK’s post, raising doubts that the India skipper can on on the move out.
Rumours were ignited again, when CSK followed Rohit Sharma on Instagram. Furthermore, DC or CSK can be back for Rohit Sharma during the Trade window. While Rohit will not be on the auction, he can move out of the Mumbai’s family from the very next day when Trade window reopens again.
CSK will also be hoping to get Sharma as they will be keen to get a player who can replace the departing MS Dhoni. Previous moves of finding a replacement captain failed when Jadeja wasn’t up to the mark and Ben Stokes remained injured and was ultimately released on IPL 2024 retention day.
