MI play most of their matches at the Wankhede and that is the ground where Rohit has grown playing the game.
Mumbai: Rohit Sharma is easily one of the best white-ball players of the generation. Even at 36, he is a threat at the top of the order and looks like he can easily continue for the next three seasons at the IPL as well. The most successful IPL captain stepped down from the position of being the leader of the side, yet he remains one of the most important batters in the MI line-up. With talks of mega-auction taking place ahead of the next season, one reckons MI should hold onto Rohit and not let him go anywhere. Here are some of the reasons why MI should retain Rohit.
Knowhow of Wankhede: MI play most of their matches at the Wankhede and that is the ground where Rohit has grown playing the game. He knows the ground better than most and that surely is a massive reason why he should be retained.
The MI Dressing-Room Culture: He has been part of the franchise for over a decade and hence no one knows the MI culture better than him. Why would you even think of doing away with him. The youngsters trust him and hence his presence in the dressing-room will make a difference.
Rohit, The Batter: They call him the ‘Hitman’ for a reason. At the top of the order, he can be destructive and on most occasions, his approach would put the opposition on the backfoot. Why wouldn’t you like a player like that in your team?
Meanwhile, MI play RCB in their next game on Thursday.
