Ace India spinner R Ashwin gave an epic reply to an RCB fan who wanted Indian captain Rohit Sharma in RCB for IPL 2025. There are a lot of uncertainties regarding Rohit Sharma's stay at MI. Last year after Rohit was removed as captain, with MI handing over the leadership reins to Hardik Pandya, speculations were high that Rohit would leave Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. As per recent reports, LSG, KKR and RCB are interested in having Rohit Sharma on board.

During a conversation on Ashwin’s YouTube channel, an RCB fan was excited about the possibility of having Roht Sharma and Virat Kohli on the same team. He said if he was in RCB management, he would go after Rohit Sharma without a second thought. The fan added that having Rohit Sharma at RCB would also give the franchise a great captaincy option.

Reacting to the fan's wish, Ashwin said if RCB have to go after Rohit Sharma, the franchise would have to keep at least 20 crores aside.

“Agar Rohit Sharma ke liye aap jaa rahe hai to 20 crore rakhna padega (You need to keep 20 crores with yourself if you want to sign up Rohit Sharma). (From 10:40)

Rohit made his IPL debut with Deccan Chargers in 2008 before moving to Mumbai Indians in 2011. The switch to MI worked wonders for the franchise as he went on to become one of IPL's most successful captains. Under Rohit Sharma's leadership, MI won titles in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. A couple of ordinary seasons meant that MI started looking out for alternating leadership options and they roped in Hardik Pandya as captain for IPL 2024 after trading him with Gujarat Titans. Rohit boasts of a significant record with MI and is their all-time leading run scorer in IPL. He has played the most number of matches for MI and also scored the highest sixes.
