Rohit Sharma’s journey as captain of the Mumbai Indians has been nothing short of legendary. With five IPL trophies to his name, he stands tall alongside the likes of MS Dhoni in terms of captaincy success in the league. A prolific run-scorer and a natural talent with the bat, Sharma has left an indelible mark on the Mumbai Indians franchise.
His captaincy stint began in 2013 when he led Mumbai Indians to their maiden IPL title after joining mid-season. From there on, he orchestrated a series of victories, including a Champions League T20 title in the same year. Despite facing challenges in the 2015 season, Sharma’s leadership guided Mumbai Indians to their second IPL title, with him being named Player of the Match in the final.
The Hitman’s legacy continued to grow as he steered Mumbai Indians to triumphs in the nail-biting finals of 2017 and 2019. The 2020 season saw Sharma leading his team to a consecutive IPL title, further solidifying his status as one of the most successful captains in IPL history.
However, the 2022 season proved to be a setback for Mumbai Indians as they failed to qualify for the playoffs, ending up at the 10th position. Despite this, Sharma’s leadership remained pivotal for the team.
As the 2024 IPL season approaches, Mumbai Indians find themselves with a new captain, prompting speculation about Sharma’s future with the franchise. While fans express disappointment over the management’s decision, Sharma’s legacy in Mumbai Indians from 2013 to 2023 remains unparalleled.
With a mega auction before IPL 2025, the upcoming season could potentially mark the end of Sharma’s tenure with Mumbai Indians, opening doors for a new chapter in his illustrious IPL career.
