Rohit Sharma is one of the biggest names to have played for India. He is also the first captain to win five titles in the Indian Premier League. He led Mumbai Indians between 2013 and 2023 and won five titles. Then, he recently led India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 win, which has put his name among the elite Indian captains. With the World Cup-winning captain tag, Rohit Sharma will look to have better treatment from the franchise in the coming IPL 2025.
Last season, Rohit was removed from the captaincy, and Hardik Pandya was named the captain. It didn’t work out. But now, there are some rumours that Rohit Sharma is likely to leave MI and end his tie with the franchise. If it happens, then there will be a number of franchises that will be eyeing him. Here, we will talk about three IPL teams that can sign him in the IPL 2025.
IPL 2025: Three teams who will look to sign Rohit Sharma if he leaves Mumbai Indians
3. Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings have been the most underperforming team in IPL history. They have not made it to the playoffs since 2014 and have changed a number of captains since then. Shikhar Dhawan, with his age, might not be retained, which means PBKS will need a new captain. That’s where Rohit Sharma can be handy. He is a successful captain, and he knows how to take the franchise to success. PBKS never shies away from spending money on the player they want, and they can look to sign Rohit for the IPL 2025.
2. Delhi Capitals
A few days ago, news broke that the Delhi Capitals are not happy with Rishabh Pant and might not retain him. If it is true, then DC will also need a captain. And who better than Rohit Sharma will be available? DC can be another team that can target Rohit because of his amazing leadership skills, which can make this franchise the champions in the IPL 2025.
1. Lucknow Super Giants
There are rumours that KL Rahul might leave Lucknow Super Giants as his contract is over. That will give this franchise the option to look for a new captain. That is where Rohit Sharma will be a perfect choice. He is also an opener, like Rahul, and captains the team. That’s what LSG might look into in their next captain, and all these skills are offered with Rohit in the team.
