Rohit Sharma is anticipated to depart Mumbai Indians and play for a new team in the IPL 2025 season.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction looks to be a nail-biter, with many great players anticipated to join new franchises. Rohit Sharma is one of the most well-known names associated with a departure from their current teams. The Hitman’s feud with the Mumbai Indians has been well-documented since he was sacked as captain of the franchise prior to the 2024 IPL season. Hardik Pandya took over as captain of the team, prompting widespread criticism from fans and past cricketers for both the India all-rounder and MI management.
Rohit is unlikely to face a shortage of suitors if he enters the auction pool, given his high brand value. With the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) unlikely to enable teams to keep more than six players (including Right To Match), Rohit’s prospects of playing for a different team next season are strong.
One franchise that has obviously indicated interest in Rohit is the Punjab Kings, who have yet to win the IPL trophy. Sanjay Bangar, PBKS’ Director of Cricket Operations, indicated interest in Rohit, but stated that a move for the opening batter would be contingent on funds remaining in the purse.”Everything relies on whether we have the necessary cash on hand. “I am confident that Rohit will fetch a high price if he enters the auction,” Bangar stated during a discussion on the RAO Podcast YouTube channel.
Up until the most recent season, Shikhar Dhawan was the Punjab Kings’ official captain. However, he has since announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. As a result, PBKS would be eager to select a new captain at the mega auction, and Rohit is one of the best candidates available.
Even though Right is already 37 years old, his T20 World Cup achievements this year strongly imply that the Hitman has enough of fire remaining in him.
