Rohit Sharma could be one of the biggest players to enter the IPL 2025 mega-auction. Mumbai Indians (MI) removed him from captaincy before IPL 2024 and he played the previous season under Hardik Pandya's leadership. Hardik-led MI had their worst-ever season and they finished at the 10th spot in the points table. Just a month after IPL 2024, Rohit captained Team India to a title win in the T20 World Cup.
Rohit is still the Test and the ODI captain of Team India and would surely want to lead a team in IPL 2025. Here, we have a look at 4 IPL teams Rohit Sharma can join as captain if he leaves Mumbai Indians and enters the IPL 2025 mega-auction –

There are very high chances of KL Rahul getting released by Lucknow Super Giants. With an aim to win their maiden IPL title, LSG could bid for Rohit if he is available. LSG did make it to the second round of IPL 2022 and 2023 but failed to play a final. Rohit has done the job for MI and LSG would surely eye him if he is in the auction.
Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals backed Rishabh Pant ahead of Shreyas Iyer and retained him as the captain. Iyer had captained DC to their maiden IPL final in 2020 but wasn't given the captaincy back when he made his return during the second phase of IPL 2021.
