Amidst fans’ calls for Rohit Sharma to assume leadership instead of Hardik Pandya and the team’s recent string of losses, the Mumbai Indians camp is abuzz with speculation. Rumors are circulating that former MI captain Rohit Sharma might be approached by SRH owner Kaviya Maran, with whispers suggesting a significant offer being made to him. However, it’s important to note that there’s no official confirmation of these rumors. Tweets vaguely alluding to this possibility have surfaced, but nothing concrete has been established.
Furthermore, the likelihood of this happening seems doubtful given that Sunrisers Hyderabad has already secured Pat Cummins for a substantial amount to lead their team.
In a separate report by News24, it’s suggested that Rohit is discontented with his treatment during the MI captaincy saga, hinting at a less than favorable atmosphere in the dressing room. This information has been corroborated by a player within the franchise.
Given Rohit’s extensive IPL experience, his entry into the auction could potentially set new records.
With MI having lost all three of their matches so far, there are murmurs that Rohit could be appointed captain mid-season if their poor performance persists.
MI’s next game is against DC, scheduled for Sunday, where the Hardik Pandya-led team will be eager to secure a victory.
