The Mumbai Indians’ disastrous performance in IPL 2024 has brought the future of Rohit Sharma into question. After being unexpectedly removed from captaincy, Sharma has dropped subtle hints of dissatisfaction with the franchise. Despite a forgettable second half of the season, Sharma ended his campaign as the team’s top scorer with 417 runs. However, his post-match standing ovation from the Wankhede crowd and subsequent social media post have sparked speculations that he may have played his final match for the Mumbai Indians.
Head coach Mark Boucher acknowledged a conversation with Sharma regarding his future, but Sharma remains focused on the upcoming T20 World Cup. The team’s lack of communication and the upcoming mega auction have further fueled uncertainty. While Sharma’s departure would be a significant loss for the Mumbai Indians, it remains to be seen if he will seek a new home in the IPL or continue his journey with the franchise that has been his home for over a decade.
