Mumbai Indians head coach Mark Boucher on Friday failed to provide a definitive answer to a burning question that has been raging since the last few days: Did Rohit Sharma play his last game for Mumbai Indians on Friday? Boucher did not give a specific answer to the question, referring to Rohit as the master of his own destiny.
Rohit focusing on World Cup: Boucher
After Mumbai Indians‘ final group stage game against Lucknow Super Giants where they lost by 18 runs, Boucher was asked about Rohit’s future for the franchise.
Boucher said although he had a conversation with Rohit Sharma about the IPL 2024 season, Rohit made it clear he was focusing on the T20 World Cup 2024 for now.
Latest News on Rohit Sharma
“There hasn’t been much discussion about Rohit’s future. I spoke to him the night before, just sort of a review of the season. When I asked him what’s next for Rohit Sharma, he said ‘World Cup’. That’s perfect that’s all I need to know about. For me, he is the master of his own destiny. It’s a big auction next year, who knows what’s going to happen next year, we’ll take each day as it comes,” Boucher said.
Speculation galore
Speculation has been raging since the last few months about Rohit Sharma being unhappy in the Mumbai Indians team. A pitch side conversation of Rohit with KKR support staff Abhishek Nayar went viral where Rohit was heard saying it was his last year for the franchise. It remains to be seen if he really meant it.
