Rohit Sharma’s Future in IPL 2024: Trade Rumors and Mumbai Indians Leadership Change

Rohit Sharma’s future in the IPL is up in the air after Mumbai Indians named Hardik Pandya as their captain for IPL 2024. This decision, announced last Friday, has caused quite a stir among fans.

There were talks that Mumbai Indians had promised Hardik the captaincy earlier in the year, but some reports suggested it might happen later. Despite this, Mumbai Indians made the call early, even after trading players with other teams.

There were rumors of Rohit moving to lead Gujarat Titans when Hardik was set to return to Mumbai Indians. But Mumbai Indians kept Rohit on board, leading to fans feeling he’s been slighted. There’s also buzz about other teams wanting Rohit.

Reportedly, Delhi Capitals wanted to trade for Rohit as they needed an experienced captain, especially with their skipper returning from injury. However, Mumbai Indians turned down the offer, meaning Rohit stays with them for now. The question remains: Can any team still get Rohit for IPL 2024?

Will Rohit Sharma IPL 2024 team change?

The trade window reopens on December 20, giving Rohit a chance to switch teams before the IPL 2024 auction. However, Mumbai Indians might hesitate to trade Rohit as it could weaken their team. Teams are unlikely to trade now since they’re focusing on the upcoming auction.

Mumbai Indians kept Rohit for Rs 16 Crore in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. Any team wanting to trade for him must have a purse of Rs 16 Crore or more, which seems unlikely as teams need to fill other slots.

Recent reports suggest Rohit will play under Hardik this season, delaying any potential move from Mumbai Indians until the next season.
