Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma has once again fulfilled the promise he made to Indian fans. Just a few weeks ago, during an event in Mumbai, Rohit had told the fans that he and his team will try their best so that the Champions Trophy comes back to India again. On Sunday 9th March in Dubai, the Indian captain proved his words true. Team India has become the champion of the Champions Trophy. But now soon Rohit Sharma will be seen playing under the captaincy of one of the star players of Team India.
Rohit will play under someone else’s captaincy
Yes, after the Champions Trophy, when Rohit will step on the field, he will not be captaining, but will play as a senior player. But before you think that Rohit is leaving the captaincy of Team India, let us tell you clearly that there is nothing like that. Rohit will remain the captain of Team India for now, but here we are talking about the new season of the Indian Premier League. After the Champions Trophy, Rohit will now directly enter the field for IPL 2025, where he will show his strength for Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya.
Rohit’s captaincy
After the Champions Trophy, Team India will now stay away from the field for the next 2 months. During this time, all the Indian players including Rohit will be busy in the IPL 2025 season. In such a situation, former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma will play under Hardik’s captaincy for the second consecutive season. Hardik was made the captain of Mumbai Indians before the 2024 season, which created a lot of uproar at that time. However, only after this, under Rohit’s captaincy, the Indian team has won the T20 World Cup and now the Champions Trophy. Mumbai’s first match in IPL 2025 will be against Chennai Super Kings on March 23.
Will the captaincy remain in the Test team?
Talking about Rohit, the Indian captain made it clear after the final that he is not retiring from the ODI format right now. This means that Rohit has made it clear that he will continue playing in this format and in such a situation, there does not seem to be any possibility of leadership change in ODIs at the moment. However, when Team India goes to play a Test series on England tour in June 2025, will Rohit be the captain in it or will Rohit be in the team or not, now everyone’s eyes are on this.
