Team India are currently playing against New Zealand in the first Test in Bengaluru. During this, a fan made an unusual request to Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma. One of the enthusiastic fans said loudly, “Rohit, please join RCB in IPL 2025.” This caused some laughter and attention from the public as well.

The incident showed the passion and obsession of IPL followers most specifically for RCB. However, Rohit Sharma led the Mumbai Indians to five IPL titles after joining the franchise. However, he was replaced by Hardik Pandya this season.

Sharma will continue to play for Mumbai Indians: Reports

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 retention list is going to be important as the mega auction will take place soon. Rohit Sharma’s future with the Mumbai Indians, the team he led to five IPL trophies, is a matter of speculation as well. According to a report by Indian Express, the Mumbai Indians are all set to keep Rohit Sharma and three other players for the upcoming season as well. Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav are likely to be retained alongside Rohit, according to the article.

If this happens, then they would keep the team’s core together while also providing stability before the mega auction. Retaining these key players would be a great move, with their experience and talent to establish a strong basis for the 2025 season of IPL as well.
