The dust has settled on the 2025 Indian Premier League, with Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore finally getting their hands on the coveted trophy after an 18-year wait. But the real buzz is around Navjot Singh Sidhu’s best IPL team, which has left fans scratching their heads. Sidhu, a former Indian cricketer and current commentator, chose Rohit Sharma as the captain of his team, despite Sharma not leading his team, Mumbai Indians, this season.
Sidhu’s reasoning? Sharma’s impressive track record, including five IPL trophies, a World Cup, and a Champions Trophy. “When Rohit scores 50, the team believes they won’t lose,” Sidhu said. But fans aren’t buying it, taking to social media to troll Sidhu’s choice. “What is this comedy?” tweeted @Santhugaadu. “He didn’t even captain any team, then how can he be the captain of 2025 IPL team?”

Fans are having a field day, with @Dhrumil81622963 tweeting “Comedy king paji” and @Ispeakfaxx0_O joking that Sidhu meant “flop team of the tournament”. Meanwhile, @VhKatragadda pointed out the obvious: “Arre guru, Rohit Sharma is not in the IPL team of the year”. It’s clear that Sidhu’s team has sparked a lively debate, and fans will be eager to see how his choices play out in the future.
