Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has been a key player for Mumbai Indians (MI) in Indian Premier League (IPL) for many years and is recognized as one of the most successful captains in the tournament's history.
Under his leadership, Mumbai won five IPL titles, making them one of the most dominant teams in the league. The franchise appointed Hardik Pandya as the new captain for 2024 IPL season, marking a new chapter for the team.

However, the decision to change MI's captaincy caused disappointment among fans. As IPL 2025 draws closer, rumors are swirling that Rohit Sharma might leave MI to join a new team before the season begins.
Multiple media reports indicate that Rohit might end his tenure with Mumbai Indians and move to Lucknow Super Giants for IPL 2025. This comes after Lucknow's underwhelming performance last season under KL Rahul's captaincy.
Should Rohit Sharma join Lucknow Super Giants, it will be interesting to see if he is appointed as the team's captain. So far, there has been no official confirmation regarding these rumors, but speculation is mounting as the new IPL season approaches.
The 37-year-old led the Indian team to historic victory in ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. After this triumph, he and Virat Kohli announced retirement from T20 International cricket. Despite this, Rohit remains the captain of the Indian ODI and Test teams.
There are also rumors suggesting that if Rohit doesn't join Lucknow Super Giants, he may instead sign with Chennai Super Kings for IPL 2025.
