Rohit Sharma: The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League will be played next year. A mega auction will also be organized for this at the end of 2024. The number of players participating in the auction will be high. It is worth noting that all teams will be allowed to retain only three players.

Big changes are expected in Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma is going to leave this franchise. According to reports coming on social media, Hitman has also held talks with another team. He can be seen captaining that big franchise in IPL 2024. Let's know the whole thing in detail.

Rohit Sharma has signed a contract with this team

Before IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians removed Rohit Sharma from captaincy. Let us tell you that the 37-year-old player had won five IPL titles for this team under his captaincy.

In his place, this big responsibility was handed over to Hardik Pandya.

After this, news of rift between Rohit and MI team management started coming. Last season, the owner of Punjab Kings had talked about buying Team India's star cricketer during the mega auction and making him the captain of her team. In such a situation, news is coming from sources that Punjab can trade Rohit with the Mumbai team. If reports are to be believed, Hitman will get a fee of 16 crores.

There was a rift due to Hardik Pandya

Rohit Sharma was removed from captaincy by Mumbai Indians without informing him.

His wife Ritika Sajdeh had revealed this. Meanwhile, this team of Nita Ambani handed over this responsibility to Hardik Pandya, who came into the team after trading from Gujarat Titans.

After this, tension was seen between Rohit and Hardik throughout the season. Also, this camp got divided into two groups. One group supported its old captain, while the other group supported the new captain.
