Rohit Sharma, though not the captain of Mumbai Indians, could he leave Mumbai Indians next season? Will Rohit Sharma hold the reins of Chennai Super Kings? Is Rohit Sharma now exploring other franchises to further his IPL career?
Many such questions are emerging now. The biggest question remains whether the Yellow Army, Mahendra Singh Dhoni Chennai Super Kings, is where Rohit Sharma might go. This speculation surged after a certain post on social media, leading many to speculate that Dhoni might indeed welcome Rohit. These are the same Dhoni who transformed Rohit Sharma into Team India’s opener, after which Rohit Sharma earned the moniker ‘Hitman’.
But the current rumors suggest that we might see Rohit Sharma donning the yellow jersey next year or after the auction. The buzz implies that Chennai might be the destination, as reports are surfacing. There’s been no word from Rohit, but there’s been a hint. Social media buzzes with the news of the mega auction for IPL 2025.
This might bring Rohit Sharma back to Mumbai Indians. CSK might also consider making Rohit their captain post-Dhoni, as CSK lacks a captain after MS Dhoni. In this scenario, Rohit Sharma might be their prime choice. It’s also possible that post IPL 17, Rohit might switch to Chennai, much like the move of Hardik Pandya. There were previous reports about Delhi Capitals offering Rohit Sharma a deal. However, contractual obligations prevented Rohit Sharma from joining Delhi Capitals.
These speculations point towards a potential move for Rohit Sharma to Chennai Super Kings. But the biggest hint came when Chennai Super Kings paid tribute to Rohit Sharma, and in response, Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika replied. This sparked more intense speculations that Rohit might head to Chennai. Have a look at the photo. This photo belongs to the official page of Chennai Super Kings for IPL.
They wrote, ‘From 2013 to 2023, a decade of daring challenges. Much respect.’ Rohit is right below it. Notice Ritika, Rohit Sharma’s wife, who made a yellow heart. It could have been red, but why a yellow heart? Perhaps it’s for Chennai Super Kings because their jersey color is yellow. But this sparked rumors that Rohit Sharma might soon join Chennai Super Kings and might be seen playing with Chennai Super Kings from Chennai Super Kings’ perspective, as Dhoni has supported Rohit significantly.
Dhoni played a significant role in Rohit Sharma becoming a prominent opener in his international career. Hence, Mumbai Indians’ sudden decision to strip Rohit off captaincy and appoint Hardik Pandya as the captain raises eyebrows. Taking into account these aspects and the photo that surfaced, wherein Ritika sported a yellow heart, it hints that Rohit Sharma might soon join hands with ‘Mahi Bhai’ and bid farewell to his franchise. He hailed from Deccan Chargers.
He arrived there from Mumbai Indians after a 10-year journey with Mumbai Indians, five trophies, and an abrupt removal from captaincy might be a significant jolt for him and a substantial shock for the fans. It will be intriguing to see if Rohit Sharma heads to CSK or if this was just a tribute eliciting a response from Ritika. What do you think? Should MS Dhoni’s team, Chennai Super Kings, go for Rohit Sharma? Comment and let us know.
