Bengaluru: As the IPL Mega Star Auction is about to take place, there are various rumors about the transfer of stars. One of these revolves around Indian skipper Rohit Sharma.
There have been reports of Rohit leaving Mumbai Indians for a long time. After Hardik Pandya arrived in Mumbai as the captain, discomfort was formed in the team. There was a lot of protest among the fans when Hardik was appointed as the captain of the team instead of Rohit who had led the team till then. Last season, Mumbai finished last.
It is said that Rohit will not be in Mumbai in the new season. However, Hitman is yet to respond to the issue. Rohit’s name is mainly heard around the teams Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders. Meanwhile, RCB’s former South African batsman AB de Villiers has responded to the rumors that Rohit will go to Bengaluru.
De Villiers says it would make big headlines if that happens. ‘I laughed a lot after hearing Rohit’s reaction. If Rohit moves from Mumbai Indians to RCB, it will be an event. Just imagine the news headlines. Hardik Pandya’s arrival will be big news. “Hardik’s return to Mumbai from Gujarat Titans was not unexpected,” de Villiers said on the YouTube channel.
It does not seem that Rohit will leave Mumbai for arch-rivals RCB. There is no chance of Rohit being dropped by Mumbai. The actor added that there is zero possibility of that. The former South African skipper added that despite being in the twilight of his career, his childhood friend Faf Duplessis will remain in Bengaluru and lead the team.
Age is just a number. He doesn’t see a problem going into 40. It is true that there is a lot of pressure on Duplessis for the team not to win the title. But de Villiers also stated that he is an extraordinary player. Teams can retain a maximum of six players in the squad ahead of the mega star auction.
