Rohit Sharma who is one of the most successful captains in the Indian Premier League, is currently in the Mumbai Indian as a just batter despite winning five IPL trophies. Rohit, who has been as successful with the bat as he was with captaincy, had to step down from captaincy when the Mumbai Indian acquired Hardik Pandya from the Gujarat Titans. This article will discuss Rohit Sharma's performance as a batter and captain.

 

Rohit started his IPL career with the Deccan Chargers, where he played from 2008 to 2010. He then moved to the Mumbai Indians in 2011. After two seasons, the Mumbai Indians management unexpectedly made Rohit Sharma captain. After that, Rohit was unstoppable, and the Mumbai Indians won the IPL in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020.

Rohit stepping down from the captaincy was very controversial as he didn't step down on his own. As per the reports, Hardik Pandya put a condition to return to MI from Gujarat Titans, stating that only if he made the captain would he then return to Mumbai Indian. After returning, Hardik Pandya was the captain of the MI, for which he also received a lot of criticism from the fans, who booed him badly in the starting matches. While the captain was exactly the opposite of what Mumbai Indian management had expected, the team fell the last in the points table.
