Rohit Sharma will be in these 2 teams next season...!?

Chennai Super Kings and mumbai Indians are the only two successful teams in IPL history. Both the teams have won the trophy 5 times each in 17 seasons. In particular, the mumbai Indians team was an unshakable team from 2013 to 2020. It was during this period that mumbai Indians won the trophy 5 times. Despite the captaincy of mumbai Indians like Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, harbhajan singh, zaheer khan, Pollard, suryakumar yadav and now hardik pandya, only rohit sharma has won these 5 trophies for mumbai Indians. From 2021 to 2023, mumbai Indians reached the play-off round only once. hardik pandya was traded to gujarat and given the captaincy after three years without a trophy and Rohit Sharma's lack of batting. No one expected that they would suddenly take away the captaincy from Rohit. It was a big shock. And there was tension in the team as well. In the last 2024 season, the mumbai team finished in 10th place.
Due to these issues, there are reports that rohit sharma will be traded to another team or will be released by the mumbai team and come to the auction ahead of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. And there were reports that he received captaincy offers from many other teams. It is expected that rohit sharma will leave the mumbai Indians and come to the auction or go to other teams. In that regard, harbhajan singh has commented on which team rohit sharma will play for next season. In an interview with the media, he said, "IPL mega auction this year is going to be a lot of hype. Big names are also being hit in it, so it will be interesting to see what they are waiting to do in the IPL auction. rohit sharma will go to delhi or mumbai team will retain him. Let's wait and see."

The impact player rule has created a major earthquake in the IPL series. Although this rule is in place for the 2023 and 2024 seasons, questions are being raised about whether this rule will be lifted in the next season. Star players including rohit sharma and virat kohli have in the past expressed their displeasure with the Impact Player rules. On the other hand, Ravichandran Ashwin and zaheer khan also expressed support for this rule. The IPL committee itself will decide whether the impact player rule will remain in place for the next season (IPL 2025), or whether it will be scrapped or there will be a change in the rules. So what the IPL committee is going to decide in this has raised expectations.

Harbhajan Singh was asked about this provision. To which he replied that he has no personal opinion on this rule but I think we should go back to the era when the target in t20 cricket was 160 runs.
