Rohit Sharma future with the Mumbai Indians remains uncertain. Recent reports suggest that MI may retain him, but no official word has come from the franchise yet.
According to The Indian Express, Rohit, who was replaced by Hardik Pandya as captain last season, is likely to be one of four players retained. The other players expected to stay include Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav.
Last season, the Mumbai Indians struggled under Hardik’s captaincy after Rohit was removed. The team faced heavy criticism for their poor performance, leading to questions about the decision to change captains.

A mega auction is coming up before the IPL 2025 season. Each franchise can retain up to six players, including those under the Right to Match Card (RTM) rule. This raises the question: will Rohit Sharma be among the six players retained by MI?
Since joining the team in 2011, Rohit has been a key player for the Mumbai Indians. He has led the team to five IPL titles, making MI the most successful team in the league’s history. Rohit has also been a consistent performer with the bat, scoring over 5,000 runs for the franchise.
His leadership and ability to perform in crucial moments have established him as one of the greatest captains in IPL history. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if he will continue with MI in the upcoming season.
