Mega auction is going to happen before IPL 2025. BCCI has also announced the rules of retention. It is believed that the names of the players to be retained will be announced at the end of this month. Each team has been allowed to retain a maximum of 6 players. In such a situation, the biggest question is whether Rohit Sharma, who won 5 titles as captain of Mumbai Indians in IPL, will remain with this team for the next season or not. Meanwhile, India's star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given a big statement regarding Rohit.

R Ashwin's big statement on Rohit Sharma

If Rohit Sharma is released then he will be seen in the auction. According to some reports, when Rohit comes in the auction, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore can make big bids for him. Both these players are going to be looking for a new captain in the auction. In such a situation, Ravichandran Ashwin has given a big statement on this issue on his YouTube channel.

A fan had asked Ashwin on his YouTube channel about Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma playing in the same team. In response to this, Ashwin said that if RCB wants to include Rohit in their team, then they will have to spend Rs 20 crores. Ravichandran Ashwin said, 'If you are going for Rohit Sharma then you will have to keep Rs 20 crores. Rs 20 crore will disappear there.

Rohit has a lot of captaincy experience

Rohit Sharma started his IPL career with Deccan Charges. After this he joined Mumbai Indians in 2011. Then Mumbai Indians made Rohit the captain in the year 2013. As captain, he was successful in making Mumbai Indians champion in the very first season. After this, he made Mumbai team the champion of IPL in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. But last season he was removed from the captaincy. The Mumbai team had given the command of the team to Hardik Pandya in place of Rohit.

On the other hand, if we talk about Royal Challengers Bangalore, Faf du Plessis has been captaining this team for the last few seasons. But he is now 40 years old. In such a situation, it remains to be seen whether the RCB team will retain him for the next season or not. If Faf du Plessis is not retained then RCB will have to look for a new captain. Virat Kohli is also present in the team, but he has left the captaincy. Now he plays only as a batsman.
