Rohit Sharma "Will Go To A Franchise Which Treats...": Ex-MI Star's Dig
The change in captaincy at Mumbai Indians, from Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya, left a bitter taste in the mouths of certain fans

Will Rohit Sharma leave Mumbai Indians after IPL 2024? That's one speculation which is currently ruling the spectators' mind. Before the IPL 2025, there will be a mega auction. The mega auction often sees the team equation change as most of the players are released. With Rohit Sharma being removed from captaincy, and Hardik Pandya being placed at the helm at Mumbai Indians, there has been much discussion on the move. Speaking on the topic, Ambati Rayudu, former Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings player, made an interesting observation.
"It is Rohit's call at the end of the day. Wherever he would want to go, he will go. All the team will love to have him and have him as a captain. It's Rohit's call. I am sure he will go to franchise which treats him better than what has happened here," Ambati Rayudu said on Star Sports.

The change in captaincy at the franchise, from Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya, left a bitter taste in the mouths of certain fans. As a result, Hardik has had to face boos and jeers from the crowd no matter which stadium he has played in this Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign. There are suggestions that Rohit could be looking to move on from MI before the IPL 2025 season. While such suggestions are still premature, Lucknow Super Giants seem to be interested in signing the Team India captain.
In a video on their YouTube channel, LSG could be seen flirting with the idea of going for Rohit Sharma in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
In the video, the interviewer could be heard asking LSG coach Justin Langer which player would he sign if he could sign absolutely anyone.
"One guy I want? Hmmm... if I could have anyone.... who do you think?" Langer asked the for his views instead. The interviewer then weighed in saying: "We have most of our bases covered. But do you think you can get Rohit Sharma?"
Langer, with an astonishing look on his face, said: "Rohit Sharma? Hahaha. We're going to get him from Mumbai... Well, you better be the negotiator."
