Due to the possibility of a few franchise icons switching bases, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction may include a few surprises. The focus is primarily on Rohit Sharma, whose future with the Mumbai Indians (MI) is still up in the air.
Experts and fans have been debating the possibilities, but there is no official word on whether the five-time IPL champion team will release Rohit. After leading the team to five titles, Rohit was replaced as captain of MI by Hardik Pandya ahead of the 2024 Indian Premier League. Fans reacted negatively to this action in droves. There have also been reports indicating that the Indian captain was not pleased with the way the team was performing.
Rumours of Rohit leaving Mumbai have taken the cricket community by storm as the blockbuster auction is anticipated to happen ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League. But according to Ravichandran Ashwin, the renowned Mumbai hitter would stay at MI.
It’s not at all incorrect, even if you share Rohit’s viewpoint.I wish not to have a headache. For India, I was a captain. I led Mumbai as its captain numerous times. I am excited to travel to Mumbai even if I am not a captain. It’s awesome if I play for Mumbai. Most players, I’m sure, are like that. Some of those gamers lose interest in money after a certain point. “That’s the thing,” Ashwin stated on his channel on YouTube.

MI had a terrible season under Pandya’s direction, finishing bottom on the points table with just four victories out of 14 games, despite Rohit’s stellar performance in the IPL 2024. The MI management is renowned for having an unwavering determination to succeed. They’ll do everything it takes to assemble a strong squad for the 2025 Indian Premier League. It remains to be seen, though, if Rohit will play a role in their redemption narrative.
