In fact, before the start of IPL 2024, Mumbai had made Hardik Pandya a part of their team and made Pandya the captain by removing Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, the biggest question now is whether the franchise will release the captain who made the team champion 5 times. The biggest discussion in the next season is going to be about this matter and even before this, while talking on his YouTube channel, Chopra has given a big statement.

He said, “I think Mumbai will release Ishan Kishan. He will have the option of using the Right to Match card but still Rs 15.5 crore is a lot and I don't think he will be retained. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma has also played his last match for Mumbai. It is possible that he himself may not want to be retained or the franchise may leave him.”

The cricketer turned commentator says, “Whatever happens, I see Rohit moving away from Mumbai. I don't think you will see Rohit playing in the Mumbai jersey next time. I may be proven wrong but as far as I understand, Rohit Sharma will not play for Mumbai Indians next season.”

Rohit Sharma's performance in IPL 2024

Rohit Sharma was looking in great rhythm at the beginning of IPL 2024 but as the tournament progressed, his form declined. However, this season he played 14 matches, scoring 417 runs at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 150. During this, one century and one half-century came off his bat.
