IPL 2024: Delhi Capitals wanted to trade in Rohit Sharma

Mumbai Indians have appointed Hardik Pandya as the captain of the team in place of Rohit Sharma ahead of the Indian Premier League 2024.

However, in a surprising revelation, Delhi Capitals had made a bold move by approaching Mumbai Indians for a potential trade involving the legendary Rohit Sharma.

As per reports in some sections of media, Delhi Capitals, eyeing a seasoned leader, had approached Mumbai Indians for the services of Rohit Sharma. With regular captain Rishabh Pant slated to play as an Impact Player, the Capitals were keen on securing a captain with Rohit’s stellar track record.

However, Mumbai Indians declined the offer, choosing to retain their iconic skipper. This left Rishabh Pant in charge of leading the Capitals, who is making a comeback after a challenging period following a tragic car accident. The team management’s decision to rely on Pant reflects their confidence in his leadership abilities.

Notably, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians achieved unprecedented success, reaching the IPL finals five times and emerging victorious on each occasion (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020).

Several fans are angry after Mumbai Indians replaced Rohit with Hardik as the skipper of the team.
