Mumbai Indians’ performance has seen a dip since the leadership change, prompting fans—especially Rohit Sharma’s loyal supporters—to call for his return as captain.
During a recent visit to the Shirdi temple, an ardent MI fan made a heartfelt appeal to team owner Nita Ambani, requesting her to reinstate Rohit Sharma as skipper amidst the team’s shaky campaign in IPL 2025.
Nita Ambani response to Rohit Sharma’s captaincy
The fan humbly requested with folded hands, “Rohit Sharma ko captain banao” (Make Rohit Sharma the captain). Nita Ambani, with a gentle smile, replied, “Baba ki marzi” (It’s in God’s hands).
Man was demanding captaincy for Rohit Sharma in front of Nita Ambani. This is madness.

Rohit Sharma was sacked to make Hardik Pandya captain
Rohit Sharma was removed as Mumbai Indians captain ahead of the IPL 2024 season, with Hardik Pandya taking over the role. However, Pandya’s leadership hasn’t yielded positive results for MI so far.
Rohit Sharma’s form in IPL 2025
Rohit Sharma’s individual performance in IPL 2025 has raised concerns, as the ex-captain has scored only 56 runs in five matches, averaging 11.20. He hasn’t crossed the 20-run mark in any innings this season. Since 2023, his overall IPL average is 24.39 — the second-lowest among openers with at least 25 innings. Additionally, he has been used as an Impact Substitute in two games this year.
