Discussions about IPL 2024 are increasing. Meanwhile, news is spreading that Hardik Pandya might return to Mumbai Indians and might also take charge of the team. But amidst all this, an old video of Rohit Sharma telling which team other than Mumbai Indians he would like to lead in the IPL is becoming viral on social media.
In the video, Rohit Sharma is asked which team other than Mumbai Indians would you like to captain? Rohit Sharma gave a surprising answer to this by saying, “Eden Garden is my favorite ground. A lot has happened in the Eden Garden. So I would say KKR.” That means Rohit Sharma had made it clear that he would also like to captain the Kolkata Knight Riders in addition to the Mumbai Indians. Even though he said this in the old video.

Let us tell you that under his captaincy, Rohit Sharma has helped Mumbai Indians win the title five times. Mumbai won its first title in 2013. After that, Mumbai won the title in 2015 and 2017 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Then, after a year’s break, Mumbai became champions twice in a row. This means Mumbai won the IPL title again in 2019 and 2020.
However, the last three years have not been good for Mumbai Indians at all and IPL 2022 has been no less than a nightmare for Mumbai Indians. In IPL 2022, Mumbai Indians won only 4 out of 14 games and finished 10th, last in the points table.
We tell you that Rohit Sharma is one such player who made his debut in the first season of IPL i.e. 2008. Hitman has played 243 games in the tournament so far. In 238 innings of these games, he scored 6211 runs at an average of 29.58 and a strike rate of 130.05. During this period he has scored 1 century and 42 half-centuries.
