Why Rohit Sharma Should Retire Mid IPL 2025: In the 18th season of IPL, Mumbai Indians performed brilliantly on Monday and registered their first win of the season. In the match played against Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Mumbai Paltan under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya performed brilliantly and defeated KKR by 8 wickets. With this win, Mumbai has opened its account.
On one hand, Mumbai Indians got their first win. But former captain Rohit Sharma proved to be a flop for the third consecutive match. Veteran opener Rohit Sharma could not do anything special in this match as well and went out after scoring 13 runs. Hitman is continuously flopping and is becoming a burden for the team. Now in this situation, Rohit should announce his retirement. Let us tell you in this article those 3 reasons why Rohit should retire in the middle of IPL 2025.
3. There will be a chance to prepare a young opener
In this season of IPL, Mumbai Indians got their first win after 2 consecutive losses. Despite the first win, Rohit Sharma again became a tension for the team. In this match, he once again did not show his strength as an opener and returned to the pavilion after scoring 13 runs. Rohit Sharma has failed in 3 consecutive matches for Mumbai Indians. Now Rohit should retire. So that his team can prepare a young opener batsman. It is necessary to prepare an opener batsman for the future from now on.
2. Poor fitness
Mumbai Indians’ legendary batsman and former captain Rohit Sharma is the life of this team. He has won many matches for Mumbai Indians. But now it seems Rohit’s time has passed. He is no longer seen in the same form as before. Batting is fine, now he is also being targeted for fitness on the field. Because he does not have the fitness of fast cricket like T20. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma should retire looking at this fitness.
1. Flop in batting
Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is considered to be the biggest strength of the batting unit of this team in this season of IPL. A lot of expectations were being made since Rohit Sharma’s return to form in the Champions Trophy. But Mumbai’s veteran batsman Rohit Sharma has been in very bad form in the first 3 matches. He has scored 0, 8 and 13 in the three matches so far this season. That is, he has been able to score only 21 runs in 3 innings at an average of 7. In such a situation, Rohit should now retire in the middle of the season.
By dragging his career now, Rohit Sharma is not doing any favour to himself. With every game, he is denting his own legacy at MI.
