The Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise has surprised cricket fans by replacing Rohit Sharma with all-rounder Hardik Pandya as captain for the upcoming IPL 2024 season. Pandya, traded from Gujarat Titans during the trade window, takes over the leadership role, marking the end of Rohit Sharma’s illustrious era as MI captain. Despite this significant change, Rohit Sharma remains a sought-after figure, and we explore potential destinations for him in the IPL:
Chennai Super Kings (CSK): CSK paid tribute to Rohit after his captaincy change, sparking speculation about his possible move to CSK in IPL 2025. With Dhoni likely approaching the end of his IPL career, Rohit could bring his captaincy expertise to CSK, guiding younger players like Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH): SRH has faced leadership challenges since David Warner’s departure. Rohit Sharma, known for his calm leadership, could be a valuable addition to SRH, providing stability and direction to a team that has struggled in recent seasons.
Punjab Kings (PBKS): PBKS has struggled in the IPL, lacking an inspirational captain. Rohit Sharma’s leadership experience could be a game-changer for PBKS, offering guidance to turn their fortunes around in the IPL.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): With Faf du Plessis as captain, RCB has seen success, but as he approaches 40, RCB may seek a new leader. The prospect of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli playing and leading together could be a captivating move, potentially bringing IPL glory to RCB.
