Ravichandran Ashwin recently shared his thoughts on the possibility of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) targeting Rohit Sharma in the IPL 2025 mega option. Ashwin believes that going after the India captain wouldn’t be the best decision for the Bengaluru-based franchise.
RCB would need to reserve INR 20 crore for Rohit if they decide to pursue him, said Ashwin. Speaking to a fan who expressed a desire to see Rohit join RCB, Ashwin added, “You will have to keep 20 crore for Rohit Sharma. 20 crore will disappear for him.”
Mumbai Indians’ Future with Rohit in Question
The buzz around Rohit Sharma’s future with Mumbai Indians began after the franchise handed over the captaincy to Hardik Pandya last season. Under Rohit’s leadership, Mumbai Indians clinched five IPL titles, but the recent shake-up in leadership raised many eyebrows.
Mumbai’s performance in the previous season didn’t help matters either, as the team finished last in the points table, winning just four out of 14 matches. Since the leadership change, rumours have swirled about Rohit parting ways with Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2025 mega option.
With this uncertainty, speculation has emerged about RCB potentially eyeing Rohit. However, Ashwin dismissed the idea, saying the franchise targeting the experienced opener might not be realistic.
Rohit Sharma’s IPL Stats with Mumbai
Rohit Sharma has been an important player for Mumbai Indians over the years. He has amassed 5731 runs at an average of 29.69, maintaining a strike rate of 131.05. His impressive record includes two centuries and 36 fifties, making him one of the league’s most successful batters.
As discussions continue around Rohit’s future, all eyes will be on the IPL 2025 mega option to see if the veteran batter takes on a new challenge with a different franchise.
