3 Franchises Targeting Rohit Sharma as their Future Captain for IPL 2025
1) Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders won the trophy in IPL 2024. Even though the captain of the team is Shreyas Iyer, all the credit for the victory went to mentor Gautam Gambhir. It would not be wrong to say that Iyer was a field captain under Gambhir. Now if Rohit Sharma leaves Mumbai, then KKR will not want to miss this opportunity and in any case, they would like to hand over the command of the team to Hitman. Hitman and Gambhir share a very good on-field relationship.
2) Delhi Capitals
Rishabh Pant was given the captaincy of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020. But, there was no significant difference in Delhi’s performance and the team has not been able to open the account of title win. Therefore, as soon as the option of captain Rohit, who has won the trophy for Mumbai 5 times, opens up, DC would like to hand over the command of the team to him by joining him.
3) Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings is at the forefront in adding senior players to their team. Therefore, if Rohit Sharma leaves Mumbai, then CSK will definitely think about adding Hitman to their team. Last season, Dhoni handed over the captaincy of the team to Rituraj Gaikwad. But, if Rohit comes to CSK, then once again Gaikwad can learn a lot from Hitman by playing as a player. In such a situation, after Dhoni, he can emerge as a better captain by playing under Rohit.
