Mumbai Indians: Rohit is a local player of Mumbai
Rohit Sharma is a local player of Mumbai. Everyone has attachment to their city and it is the same with Rohit. He would never want to leave his city and go to any other city. That too when he has been playing there for 13 seasons.
Had to step down from captaincy
The truth is also that Rohit Sharma had to step down from the captaincy. He is 36 years old. The franchise had to prepare a captain for the future. Even though the method of removing Rohit was wrong, it will give him a chance to play freely. There will be no responsibility on them.
Contribution of franchise in changing career
Mumbai Indians have a big contribution in Rohit Sharma’s career. Rohit got the captaincy of Mumbai at a time when his place was not confirmed even in Team India. His age was also around 25 years. Everything changed in Rohit’s career after becoming the captain of Mumbai and winning the IPL title.
If I had to go, I wouldn’t have stopped until now.
Rohit Sharma had come to know at the beginning of World Cup 2023 that Hardik Pandya was coming to Mumbai Indians. Rohit also knew that Hardik would be the new captain. If Rohit had to go, he would have been traded by now or he would have talked to the franchise and got himself released.
Will be able to focus on batting
Rohit Sharma’s bat has not been speaking in IPL for the last several seasons. In 2023, he could score only 332 runs in 16 matches. In 2022, only 268 runs were scored. In the first 10 seasons of IPL, Rohit had scored more than 350 runs every time. But have been able to do this only twice in the last 6 seasons. After stepping down from the captaincy, he will be able to concentrate completely on batting.
