Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif gave his suggestion to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to take Rohit Sharma in the upcoming mega auctions, just in case if his current franchise Mumbai Indians (MI) releases him.
Rohit was one of the most successful captains in IPL until MI decided to remove him from captaincy in IPL 2024.
When MI removed Rohit from captaincy and appointed Pandya as the new captain, Hardik faced a lot of criticism and trolls from the fans. Kaif suggested Rohit to play as the captain for the next season of the IPL.
.@ImRo45 is the joint most successful captain in the history of #IPL and @MohammadKaif believes that he should utilise his remaining years leading a franchise 🫡😍

“Jaise Hardik Pandya yahan aaye the pichli baar Gujarat se yahan aa gaye Mumbai ke liye, toh Rohit Sharma bhi jaa sakte hein kahin bhi, aur unko jaana chahiye. Rohit Sharma ko ab jo bhi 2-3 saal bacha hai unko khelna hai, wo leader ke role mei hi hona chahiye…. Aur ye chance lena chahiye RCB ko, 100% bata raha hu. Jahan mauka mile, agar paintra ghumaake jaise bhi karke wo Rohit ko captain bana dein inke bas. (Just as Hardik Pandya came here last year from Gujarat for Mumbai, Rohit Sharma can also go anywhere, and he should as well. These 2-3 years that he has left for playing, he should only play the role of a leader…. And this chance should be taken by RCB, I am telling you 100%. Wherever they get a chance, whatever things they have to do they should just appoint Rohit as the captain)” said Kaif in a video shared by StarSports.
