Rohit Sharma can be seen captaining CSK next year: Michael Vaughan
Vaughan believes that handing over the captaincy role to Ruturaj Gaikwad could just be a stopgap solution, and with Dhoni’s departure, Rohit could be the perfect captain to take charge of CSK from next season. He was asked, “Will he (Rohit Sharma) go to Chennai? Replace Dhoni? Gaikwad has been doing it (captaincy) this year, and it could be a way for Rohit to take over the captaincy next year.”
On this, podcast host Ranveer Allahabadia said that if this happens then it will be heartbreaking for the fans of Mumbai. Ranveer said that, it would be better if Rohit plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad, as he has already played for Deccan Chargers from 2008 to 2010.
Vaughan also said, “He has been asked to captain Mumbai Indians; Who would say no to this? He has been given a task which every Indian cricketer would like to do.
