Rohit Sharma has once again fulfilled the promise made to Indian fans. A few weeks ago, during an event in Mumbai, Rohit told the fans that he and his team would try their best so that the Champions Trophy came to India again. On Sunday, March 9 in Dubai, the Indian captain made his point come true. Team India has become the champion of the Champions Trophy. But now Rohit Sharma will soon be seen playing Team India under the captaincy of one of his star players.
Rohit will play under someone else’s captaincy
Yes, after the Champions Trophy, now when Rohit takes on the field, he will not be captaining, but will play only as a senior player. But before you think that Rohit is leaving the captaincy of Team India, then clearly tell that there is nothing like this. Rohit will remain the captain of Team India at the moment, but here the new season of the Indian Premier League is being talked about. After the Champions Trophy, now Rohit will directly take the ground for IPL 2025, where he will show his strength for Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya.
After the Champions Trophy, Team India will now be away from the ground for the next 2 months. During this time, all Indian players including Rohit will be busy in the IPL 2025 season. In such a situation, former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma will play under Hardik’s captaincy in the second consecutive season. Hardik was made the captain of Mumbai Indians before the 2024 season, on which there was a lot of ruckus. However, only after this, the Indian team has won the T20 World Cup and now the Champions Trophy titles under Rohit’s captaincy. The first match of Mumbai in IPL 2025 will be with Chennai Super Kings on 23 March.
Will the captaincy remain in the Test team?
Talking about Rohit, the Indian captain made it clear after the final that he is not retiring from ODI format at the moment. That is, Rohit has made it clear that he will continue to play in this format and in such a situation, there is no situation of leadership change in ODIs. However, when Team India goes to play a Test series on the tour of England in June 2025, will Rohit be the captain or whether Rohit will remain in the team or not, now everyone’s eyes are on it.
