As the mega auction before IPL 2025 is getting closer, the discussion about Mumbai Indians star batsman Rohit Sharma has intensified. Mumbai team management had removed him from the captaincy last year and elected Hardik Pandya as the new captain. As the captain of Mumbai, Hardik could not do anything special and the team's performance was poor. Meanwhile, there were reports of rift between Rohit and the management.
AB de Villiers' statement
With the IPL auction approaching, there are rumors that Rohit could be included in the auction. Regarding Rohit, a few days ago, former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif had said that Royal Challengers Bangalore should buy Rohit in the mega auction. Now on this statement of Kaif, the statement of veteran RCB batsman AB de Villiers has come. He believes that it is not possible for Rohit to join RCB.
Will Rohit Sharma join RCB?
De Villiers said, 'When I heard the comment about Rohit, I started laughing. It will be big news if Rohit moves from Mumbai Indians to RCB. This will be bigger news than Hardik Pandya going to Mumbai. He came back to Mumbai from Gujarat, which was no big deal. But if Rohit leaves Mumbai and joins his rivals RCB then I don't think there is any option. I don't think Mumbai will drop Rohit. I would give it zero or 0.1 percent probability.
De Villiers supported Faf
De Villiers has backed Faf du Plessis to take charge of RCB next season and said Kohli would also like the experienced South African to remain in the team. He said, 'Age is just a number, friends. I don't think turning 40 will be a problem. He has been in the team for the last few seasons and the players have got used to him. I understand there will be pressure on him because he has not won any trophies for RCB, but as a player he has been amazing. I think Virat will support him with his full experience.
