Mumbai Indians have put an end to speculations regarding the future of Rohit Sharma with the franchise, asserting that the cricketer will remain an integral part of the team despite being replaced as the captain for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season.
The confirmation follows recent rumors of a potential rift within the Mumbai Indians team after Hardik Pandya was named the new captain for IPL 2024.
Renowned performance analyst Prasanna Agoram had earlier suggested that the Chennai Super Kings were eyeing a trade for Rohit Sharma from the Mumbai Indians. However, these speculations were dispelled by a Mumbai Indians official who emphatically stated, "Rohit Sharma is not going anywhere from this team."
The confirmation from the franchise aims to quell uncertainties surrounding Rohit's role within the team and address concerns raised amid the leadership transition.
