Today 16 years have passed since the first auction of the IPL and in these 16 years a lot has changed in IPL but what has not changed is the love in the hearts of the fans for this league. Fans cheer openly for their favourite players in this league.
Here, we will talk about the IPL auction to be held in 2025, in which the news is coming that Rohit Sharma is going to participate in that auction. According to some reports, Rohit can give his name in the auction after IPL 2024, due to which it is believed that five-time champion Chennai can buy Rohit Sharma because after IPL 2024, CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni can retire due to which Rohit can be made the new captain of Chennai.
For the last two seasons, all-rounder player Hardik Pandey was captaining the Gujarat team but before the IPL 2024 Mumbai traded Hardik to its team and made him the captain. It was also made because the performance of Mumbai under the Captaincy of Rohit Sharma in the last three seasons was not anything special, due to which he was removed from the post of captaincy after which the fans of Mumbai created a ruckus but the team owners had to do whatever they wanted.
If we talk about Rohit’s IPL career, he made his debut in IPL in the year 2008. Till now he has played 243 matches, strike rate of 130, average 6211 runs, while he scored one century and 42 half-centuries in 2338 innings. Mumbai team management had also said that in order to reduce the burden of Rohit, the captaincy has been taken away from him and this was said by the team coach Mark voucher, but the truth is that Rohit is also 37 years old.
Mumbai team is not keeping Rohit in its future plans and there is news that they may not retain him next year. In such a situation, will Rohit, who has been a part of Mumbai for 13 years, say bye-bye to this franchise next season?
There will be mega auction before IPL 2025 in which all the team will be allowed to retain a maximum of four players, which will include three Indian and one foreign player. Mumbai Indian team has made Hardik the captain for 2024, so it is certain that he will be retained.
Apart from this, Surya would also like to retain Jasprit Bumrah, in such a situation, let us assume that IPL 2024 could be Rohit’s last season with Mumbai and can be seen in the auction next season.
Now it remains to be seen who will be on him, which teams will bet big because has a lot of captaincy experience, in such a situation, many teams will definitely insist on including Rohit in their team, out of which fans are suggesting the name of two teams, first is Royal Challengers Bengaluru who are betting on Rohit. And the second one is Chennai super kings where they feel that after Dhoni, if anyone can handle this team and take it forward then it is Rohit Sharma.
