In the latest turn of events, it has been reported that the owner of the Lucknow Super Giants, Sanjiv Goenka, is giving it his all to bring Rohit Sharma, the T20 World Cup 2024 winning captain, on board for IPL 2025.

Notably, there have been reports that Rohit Sharma, along with Suryakumar Yadav, is likely to leave Mumbai Indians ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction.

Meanwhile, LSG are likely to part ways with KL Rahul. At the very least, they will not retain him as the captain. Rahul led LSG for the last three seasons, taking the team to the play-offs for two consecutive years in 2022 and 2023. However, the team failed to make it in the 2024 season.

Additionally, Sanjiv Goenka seemed very unhappy with KL Rahul during IPL 2024, and it all came to light when Goenka was seen shouting at Rahul during the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Uppal Stadium.

Rohit Sharma was removed as the captain of Mumbai Indians ahead of IPL 2024 when the team brought in Hardik Pandya and appointed him as the new captain.

There were several reports of Rohit Sharma being unhappy with the decision. It was not just him; some teammates, including Suryakumar Yadav, were also unhappy with the change. Now, it has been reported that the duo is unlikely to stay with Mumbai Indians any longer.

Both Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma will be looking to join a team that will offer them the captaincy, and the Lucknow Super Giants could be a great option for Rohit Sharma.

Rohit Sharma is expected to be a highly sought-after player if he goes under the hammer in the IPL 2025 auction, considering his success with Mumbai Indians, having led the team to five IPL titles.
