After Hardik Pandya assumed the leadership of the Mumbai Indians, rumors quickly spread that Rohit Sharma, the former captain and five-time IPL champion, might depart from his long-standing franchise. Now, in a surprising turn of events, Sanjay Bangar has added fuel to the speculation by suggesting that Sharma could be listed in the IPL Auction for 2025.



There could be a surprising bidder for Rohit Sharma if the Mumbai Indians do not retain the Indian captain before the upcoming mega auction. Speculation is running high in the cricketing world about Sharma's future in the Indian Premier League (IPL), with rumors circulating that he may join the Punjab Kings for the 2025 season.

If this move comes to pass, it could be one of the most groundbreaking transfers in IPL history, given Sharma's reputation and remarkable achievements.



With the IPL Mega Auction 2025 fast approaching, one team rumored to be interested in Rohit Sharma is the Punjab Kings (PBKS), who will be looking for a new captain after Shikhar Dhawan's retirement.

Rumors tend to gain traction when they come from prominent figures, and similarly, Sanjay Bangar, the head of cricket development for PBKS, did not dismiss the possibility of the franchise attempting to sign Rohit Sharma. However, he cautioned that Sharma is likely to command a high price in the IPL 2025 auction.



In an interaction on the RAO Podcast Youtube channel, Bangar said: "It all depends on whether we have the money in our pockets. If Rohit comes in the auction, I certainly believe, he is going to go for a high price."



This only statement was quite enough to break the internet with Rohit Sharma trending on Twitter. Social media, especially X, is buzzing with fan theories and predictions. Many fans and analysts are eager to see Rohit Sharma don a new jersey, with the Punjab Kings often emerging as a popular choice.

The anticipation goes beyond just a change of team for Sharma; it's also about the potential impact his leadership could have on a franchise that has lacked consistency over the years.
