If this is so then how much money do Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli get for putting stickers on their bats? Also, for how many years and how many crores is this contract worth? Let’s know the answers to all these questions today. Indian batsman Rohit Sharma. (Photo by ISHARA S. KODIKARA/AFP/Getty Images) CEAT is a tyre manufacturing company.

“If Rohit Sharma comes in the auction then…”- Sanjay Bangar reveals PBKS’ master plan for IPL 2025
The performance of Punjab Kings in IPL has been very poor for the last few seasons. Sanjay Bangar (Photo Source: Punjab Kings’ Head of Cricket Development Sanjay Bangar has prepared his team’s strategy for the upcoming IPL 2025 mega-auction. If Mumbai Indians decide to release Rohit Sharma, then he has a plan ready for that as well. Bangar believes that Rohit will be in great demand and if he comes in the auction, he will get a good price. Punjab Kings (PBKS) will try to build a good team through the mega-auction. Also, the team needs an experienced captain like Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, if Rohit Sharma comes into the auction pool, then Punjab Kings will want to buy him at any cost. Punjab Kings have not got much success in IPL so far. In such a situation, the team is eyeing to build a strong team for the upcoming season. Sanjay Bangar gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma In a recent podcast, Sanjay Bangar was asked what Punjab Kings’ plans are if Mumbai Indians release Rohit Sharma. Bangar replied that their decision will depend on the amount of money they have available at the time of the auction. He also stressed that Rohit Sharma could be bought at a “very high price” if he is available. When Bangar was asked about Rohit Sharma on the RAO Podcast YouTube channel, he said, ‘It all depends on whether we have money in our pockets or not. If Rohit comes in the auction, I am sure he will be bought at a high price.’ Let us tell you, Mumbai Indians won the title a record 5 times under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, however despite this, the MI management handed over the captaincy to Hardik Pandya in place of Rohit Sharma before IPL 2024. However, his decision proved wrong and the team was the first to be out of the playoff race.

I got a lot of help from my three pillars which are actually Jay Shah, Rahul Dravid (and) chairman of the selection committee Ajit Agarkar. What I did was very important for me and of course not to forget the players who came at different times and helped the team achieve what we achieved,” Rohit said. Rohit said that winning the World Cup was something that can never be expressed in words. He said, “(It was) a feeling that cannot come every day.

It felt great to bring it back home and celebrate with everyone here.” He said, “(It is) a great feeling that can never be described in words. I don’t think it is a feeling that can be expressed.”

Vikram Rathore gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma Let us tell you that recently Vikram Rathore said on the ‘Find a Way with Taruwar Kohli’ podcast – He (Rohit) may forget whether he has decided to bat or bowl at the time of the toss. He may forget his phone and iPad in the team bus, but he never forgets his game plan. He is very clever in this and is a very smart strategist. Vikram further said- He is a player’s captain. He is invested with the players. I have never seen a captain who is so invested in team meetings and strategies. He spends a lot of time on team strategy. He is a part of the bowlers’ meeting and the batsmen’s meeting. He (Rohit) sits with the batsmen and bowlers and tries to understand what they are thinking. He spends a lot of time with the team players. On the other hand, if we talk about Rohit, after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, he had decided to say goodbye to T20 cricket. However, now he can be seen playing in the Test series against Bangladesh next month?

Rohit Sharma of India celebrates with MS Dhoni. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Getty Images) On August 15, 2020, Mahendra Singh Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket through a short post on Instagram. After that Dhoni IPLDhoni continues to play in the Indian team, where he remains a fan favourite. His leadership, cricketing skills and contribution to Indian cricket have earned him a legendary status in the game. Dhoni has been responsible for grooming many of the current cricketers of the Indian team, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Shikhar Dhawan. Dhoni was known for giving opportunities to young and emerging players and supporting them through tough times and has played a key role in shaping the careers of many Indian cricketers. His belief in the abilities of players and his patience has allowed many players to grow under his leadership. On the completion of four years of MS Dhoni’s retirement from international cricket, Star Sports shared a video from the year 2021 on its official X handle, in which current Indian captain Rohit Sharma talks about Dhoni’s role in shaping his career.

In the video filmed during the T20 World Cup 2021, Rohit says- “I made my World Cup debut under him (Dhoni), which was in 2007 and since then our journey has been very long, we have played a lot of cricket together. His ability to be with a young player and encourage him, no matter what the situation of the game is, no matter how the player is performing, he just tries to make sure that there is enough restraint around that player, the player doesn’t feel insecure, and I think that is a very important thing when a player comes into the team.” “Even a player who has played a lot of matches, when he goes through a bad phase, you need someone who can come to you and pat your back and say ‘Hey there is nothing to worry about. You have all the ability, talent and everything, just need to go out there and enjoy the match. You need that kind of support and cooperation from your captain and that is what we all got when he was the captain.

“They will have a lot of ego and it will be very difficult to manage them”- Former head coach Dravid’s statement on Virat and Rohit
Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli are the two biggest batsmen of Team India. Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid. (Image Source: BCCI/X) Former head coach of Team India Rahul Dravid has made a big statement about Indian team’s star batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Dravid said that the truth is completely opposite to what fans think about captain Rohit Sharma, star batsman Virat Kohli or other big players. Dravid also made it clear that there is no ego or any kind of problem between the big players. While talking to Star Sports, the former Indian batsman said, “I believe that teams are really led by a group of senior players. They are led by the captain. So, I think it was a privilege to work with Rohit. I think he has been a fantastic leader in these two and a half years. People are really attracted to him and the team. I think that makes a lot of difference.” Managing high profile cricketers is not a difficult task- Rahul Dravid During this, Dravid also said that he never found it difficult to manage high-profile cricketers. He said, “There were many other senior players in the team, be it Virat, Jasprit Bumrah or Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket. Many Indian cricketers are big names, they are superstars and many people follow them. Sometimes people think that they will have a lot of ego and it will be very difficult to manage them. But actually it is just the opposite. A lot of these superstars are actually very humble about their preparation. They are humble about their work. And that is why they are superstars.” Dravid further said, “Look at 37-year-old Ashwin today. Even at this age, he is ready to adapt. He is ready to learn. This is just an example. Of course, at times you have to manage him, manage his body, manage the workload and there are many such things. But honestly, it was not very difficult. I had a good group of people around me and I am happy that we were able to create a good atmosphere. But a lot of credit for this goes to the captain and the seniors.”
