IPL 2025: With much speculation around Rohit Sharma 's IPL future, a new report claims that the former MI captain will not be retained. Rohit was not upto the mark with the bat in the 2024 season and with fresh contracts ready to be laid out - the question is, will MI invest in Rohit who is in the twilight of his career. Rohit stepped down as MI captain before the start of IPL 2024 and Hardik Pandya became the new leader. The chemistry between Rohit and Hardik became the talk of the town as it seemed they did not get the tuning right. While fans of MI would want to see their very own Rohit in the franchise, it would be interesting to see what call is taken ahead of the auction.

What we understand is that Hardik and Rohit - both - do not feature in MI in 2025. One will leave is the hunch.
