As Mumbai Indians announced their core for the retentions, one name that made the fans extremely happy is the return of Rohit Sharma. The former MI captain is still unclear of the fact whether he will get the captaincy of the squad again or not.
However, with Hardik Pandya in the mix, chances are on the lesser side. But then IPL being the precarious trade that it is, you never know. Here are three reasons why MI may choose Rohit Sharma for captaincy in IPL 2025.
#1 Fan favourite
Accept this or not, Rohit Sharma is certainly the poster boy of Mumbai and the Mumbai Indians. He has always been a guide to all the crazy love and admiration that the fans have shown him. One knows for certain that it isn’t just your cricket skills that gets you the IPL captaincy but also how fans connect with you and your overall charisma.
With this being said, Rohit Sharma certainly makes the cut for what should have been or what can still be a very wise call for MI.
#2 An efficient cricketer
In the fastest lane of the game, Rohit is an absolute destroyer and he won’t hold back at any cost. He would fire, club and clobber the bowlers at will and that is what makes him a fan-favourite. The fearless approach from the former Indian captain in T20Is is simply which the audience loves.
#3 A very witty personality
Rohit’s humorous side has always won over the fans. Whether it is in the interviews or simply pulling off pranks on his teammates, his answers have got such a dry sense of humour that players and fans love it alike. For someone as a captain who has got an ability to make fans laugh even in the toughest of situations, there can be very less options than him for captaincy.
