Rohit Sharma's Legacy with Mumbai Indians
Rohit began his IPL career with the Deccan Chargers, contributing to their championship win in 2009. He joined the Mumbai Indians in 2011 and has been a pivotal player ever since, taking on the captaincy in 2013 and leading MI to five IPL titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020). However, ahead of the 2024 season, MI made a significant decision to replace him with Hardik Pandya as captain.
Despite this change, Rohit remains dedicated to the Mumbai Indians, consistently providing strong performances at the top of the order. His recent achievement adds another highlight to his illustrious career with the franchise.
