IPL 2025: Former Indian opener Akash Chopra has expressed the opinion that Rohit Sharma will not play for Mumbai Indians in the next season of IPL. Rohit was dropped from the captaincy at the start of IPL 2024 as the returning Hardik Pandya took charge of the team.

There was talk throughout the season that MI's dressing room was a divided house due to the changing of the guard. Rohit will now lead the national team while Pandya will be the vice-captain in the ICC mega tournament. Meanwhile, the IPL 2024 season did not go well for Rohit. He scored 417 runs at an average of 32.07 and a strike rate of 150. Which includes a century and a half century.

Akash Chopra feels that the five-time champions will make some big decisions for next season and may not be able to retain Ishan Kishan. The Mumbai team will release Ishan Kishan. Mumbai can use the 'right to match' card, because 15.5 crores is a lot of money. I don't think Ishaan will be retained,' Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
