I think Rohit Sharma’s journey with Mumbai Indians is over now: Aakash Chopra
Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians have won the trophy of this great tournament five times. Aakash Chopra Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Twitter) Former player Aakash Chopra believes that the Mumbai Indians team will not retain Rohit Sharma in the Indian Premier League 2025 auction. According to him, Rohit Sharma himself would like that the franchise does not retain him and releases him. Let us tell you that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians have won the trophy of this great tournament five times. Not only this, he has also played an important role in the victory of Mumbai Indians with his batting. In the IPL 2024 auction, Mumbai Indians traded Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans and appointed him as the captain of their team. Mumbai Indians’ performance in IPL 2024 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya was disappointing. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel and said about Rohit Sharma’s future with Mumbai Indians, ‘Will Rohit stay or leave? This is a big question. My personal opinion is that Rohit Sharma will not stay. Any team that retains a player will want the player to stay with them for 3 years, yes if your name is not MS Dhoni. The story of Chennai Super Kings and Dhoni is very different but Rohit Sharma himself will leave Mumbai Indians or the team will remove him.’ I think Rohit himself would not want to be retained: Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Anything can happen but I don’t think Rohit will be retained. I don’t know anything about it but my personal opinion is that Rohit will be released. Rohit can go somewhere else through the trade window but he will definitely be seen in the auction. His journey with Mumbai Indians is over now.’ Regarding Suryakumar Yadav, Aakash Chopra further said, ‘I don’t think Mumbai will leave Suryakumar Yadav nor will the experienced batsman himself want to leave. I have not heard anything about this but he will remain with the Mumbai team.’ Batsmen who hit the most sixes for India in the death overs of T20I Batsmen who scored the fastest T20 century for Australia- Mushir Khan broke Sachin Tendulkar’s 33 year old record Wicketkeepers with most Man of the Match awards for India 7 expensive watches of Hardik Pandya and their prices, know here- Virat Kohli has earned more than 8 billion rupees in the last 12 months List of teams scoring the most runs in the power play of T20- Rahul Dravid became rich after becoming the head coach of Rajasthan Royals These 5 Indian cricketers pay the highest tax, you will be shocked to know the amount Haris Rauf’s wife is extremely beautiful, even Bollywood actresses fail

Duleep Trophy 2024: The poor form of Pant, Jaiswal, Iyer and Sarfaraz increased the tension of captain Rohit
Some big players of Team India failed in Duleep Trophy 2024 today. (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian team has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh from September 19 this month. The squad for that series can be announced next week after seeing the performance of the first phase of Duleep Trophy 2024. But before the start of the series, Indian star players have increased the tension of Team India including captain Rohit Sharma. Actually, before the India vs Bangladesh Test series, Indian players are participating in the Duleep Trophy. Before the series against Bangladesh, Indian players will prepare themselves for the red ball format by playing in the Duleep Trophy 2024. But in the very first round of the Duleep Trophy, the performance of many Indian players was very disappointing. From Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant to Shreyas Iyer, many players could not shine with the bat during this period. Duleep Trophy 2024: Team India’s star players flopped with the bat on the first day Yashasvi Jaiswal India B opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was able to score only 30 runs with the help of 6 fours in 59 balls in the first innings against India A. He was sent back to the pavilion by right-arm fast bowler Khalil Ahmed. He got a good start in this match, it seemed that he would play a big innings, but he failed to do so. Sarfraz Ahmed Sarfaraz Khan, who made it to the Indian team for the Test series against England, also failed today. Sarfaraz is also a part of India B and he could score only 9 runs off 35 balls against India A. He was LBWed by Avesh Khan. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he gets a place in the team for the upcoming Test series or not. Right now, before him, senior players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are ready to return to the team. Rishabh Pant Another batsman of India B, Rishabh Pant also disappointed the team and Indian fans. After the car accident, Pant has been seen playing T20 and ODIs so far, but he has not been able to return to Tests. Pant was able to score only 7 runs with the help of 1 four in 10 balls against India A. He was made his victim by Akashdeep. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma would like Pant to return to form before the Bangladesh series. Shreyas Iyer Another batsman who failed to play a big innings today is Shreyas Iyer. Right-handed middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who is trying to make a comeback in the Test team, disappointed everyone. He is the captain of India D. Iyer became the victim of Vijay Kumar on a personal score of 9. It is very difficult to say whether he will be able to make a comeback in India’s Test team after this performance or not.

What is the big difference between the captaincy of MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh made shocking revelations
According to former Indian team spinner Harbhajan Singh, there is a big difference in the captaincy styles of both. Recently, he took part in Taruwar Kohli’s podcast and explained the difference between the two captains. Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni (Image Credit- Twitter MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma are known as great captains in the history of Indian cricket. Both have the tag of World Cup winning captain in front of their names. Harbhajan Singh has the experience of playing under the leadership of both MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, according to former Indian team spinner Harbhajan Singh, there is a big difference in the captaincy styles of the two. Recently, he took part in Taruwar Kohli’s podcast and explained the difference between the two captains. What did Harbhajan Singh say about MS Dhoni’s captaincy? Harbhajan Singh said, “Dhoni and Rohit are both different types of leaders. MS Dhoni will never go to a fielder and ask, ‘Which fielding do you want?’ He gives you a chance to learn from mistakes.” Bhajji explained by telling an anecdote “I remember one match, in which I was fielding at short fine leg and MS Dhoni was keeping. Shardul Thakur was bowling and on the first ball Kane Williamson hit him for a boundary. The next ball was also of the same length and Williamson played the same shot. I went to MS and asked him to tell Shardul to bowl a different length. MS told me, ‘Paaji if I tell him right now, he will never learn. Let him learn on his own.’ His thinking was that when Shardul gets hit for boundaries, he will learn quickly. This was the MS Dhoni way.” What did Harbhajan Singh say about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy? Talking about Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh said- “Rohit is very different. He will talk to every player. He is the kind of player who will put his hand on your shoulder and tell you what he wants from you. He will make you believe that yes, you can do it.” Captaincy in Test cricket has made Rohit Sharma an even better captain: Harbhajan Singh He said, “The biggest change in Rohit came when he started captaining in Test cricket. As a Test captain, you learn a lot. There are many moments in T20 that you ignore, but you cannot do that in Test cricket. In Test cricket, the captain runs everything. His strategy and its implementation are very important to win Test matches, this is what makes you a great leader. Steve Waugh’s name immediately comes to my mind, because he was very good at captaincy. If you are performing well as a captain in Test cricket, then it becomes easier to captain in T20 and ODIs.”
Who is Ayush Shukla? First he got Rohit Sharma out, now he made a name for himself by bowling four maiden overs in T20I
Ayush Shukla bowled four maiden overs in the T20I match. Ayush Shukla (Photo Source: Fans also call T20 International as fast cricket. In this format, bowling even one maiden over is a big achievement for a bowler. In such a situation, when a bowler bowls all four overs of his spell maiden, it becomes one of the biggest achievements of his career. During the recently concluded T20 World Cup, we saw New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson doing this. He bowled all four overs of his spell maiden. Now Hong Kong’s Ayush Shukla’s name has been added to this list. He achieved this feat during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier A match played against Mongolia on Saturday, 31 August. He has become only the third bowler in the world to bowl 4 maiden overs in a match in T20I cricket. Before Ayush Shukla, this feat has been achieved by Lockie Ferguson in 2024 and Canadian bowler Saad Bin Zafar in 2021. Zafar did not concede a single run in his quota of 4 overs against Panama. He became the first bowler in the world to bowl 4 maiden overs in a match in T20I. Talking about the match between Hong Kong vs Mongolia ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier A, on the basis of this deadly spell of Ayush Shukla, Hong Kong team was able to bowl out Mongolia for just 17 runs. 4 batsmen of Mongolia could not even open their account and no batsman touched the double digit mark. Hong Kong chased this score in just 10 balls and registered a win. Who is Ayush Shukla? (Who is Ayush Shukla) Born in Boisar in Palghar district of Mumbai, Ayush Shukla established himself as a reliable player for the Hong Kong T20 team at the age of 21. He has played 34 matches in his career so far, taking 29 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 8.62. Shukla’s potential was evident in earlier matches, especially in a spell against Cambodia in 2023 where he recorded excellent figures of 3-1-3-1. He gained further recognition during the Asia Cup 2022 when he dismissed India captain Rohit Sharma, one of the biggest milestones of his career.

Speaking in a podcast, journalist Vimal Kumar has revealed how the dispute between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya was resolved. When the Indian team was training in America, Vimal Kumar was also present there. Vimal Kumar told that both of them had resolved the dispute after talking for a long time. Rohit and Hardik talked to each other for a long time Vimal Kumar said on the ‘Two Sloggers Podcast’, “When I went to the nets, I saw that Hardik and Rohit were not talking. On the first day they did not talk and were away from each other, but on the second day I saw them come one by one and sat together in a corner and talked for a long time. For me, that moment defined this team. There were no cameras; nothing. The way Rohit and Hardik were talking, I thought ‘what am I watching?’” He further said, “A lot is going on in India, people are talking about their differences. After that, for the next three days, Rohit and Hardik practiced batting and bowling together. When I saw that atmosphere, it showed how comfortable the team atmosphere was and in the end the whole world saw what happened.”
Is LSG going to spend 50 crores for Rohit? Know what team owner Sanjiv Goenka said
Sanjiv Goenka. (Photo by Indranil Bhoumik//Mint via Getty Images) Rohit Sharma was removed from the captaincy of Mumbai Indians before the last IPL season and Hardik Pandya was appointed as the new captain of the team in his place. After this decision of the franchise, the fans of this team were also seen very angry. After this, there was speculation on social media that Rohit might leave Mumbai Indians before IPL 2025. Meanwhile, news also came that Lucknow has saved Rs 50 crore to buy Rohit. Now a big statement has come from LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka regarding these rumours. Recently, during an interview on Sports Tak, Sanjiv Goenka was asked whether it is true that he has kept a purse of Rs 50 crore for himself to buy Rohit. Sanjiv Goenka believes that any team will benefit from a player like Rohit Sharma, but it would not be right to spend such a huge amount on him. Sanjeev Goenka gave a big statement on buying Rohit Sharma Sanjeev Goenka said that “Nobody knows whether Rohit Sharma is participating in the auction or not? It depends on whether Mumbai Indians will release Rohit. Still, if Rohit participates in the auction and if you spend 50 percent of the purse amount on him, then how will you be able to buy other players. Everyone wants a good player and captain. It depends on what you have and what you can do with it?” Let us tell you that before IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants has appointed former Indian veteran fast bowler Zaheer Khan as the new mentor of the team. Earlier Gautam Gambhir was the mentor of LSG but last season Gambhir joined his old team Kolkata Knight Riders. Now Zaheer Khan will be seen in this new role.
