In a highly awaited move, Rohit Sharma resumed training with the Mumbai Indians prior to the second half of IPL 2025. This is his first public outing on the field since he declared his retirement from Test cricket this year. The veteran opener was spotted training at the MI training camp, appearing serious and calm as the franchise prepares for the next matches.
Test Retirement Sparks Mixed Reactions
Rohit’s retirement from the game’s longest format was received with a mix of reaction from fans and retired cricketers. Some praised his contribution to Indian Test cricket and appreciated his requirement to balance workload, while others were disappointed at losing an experienced player just months before the onset of the next WTC cycle. Nonetheless, his presence in the IPL is important for MI, who are still chasing a playoff spot.
MI Seeking to Regroup Mid-Season
Mumbai Indians have experienced a wobbly first half of the 2025 season. With some injuries and erratic performances, the team management is hoping for the return of star players such as Rohit Sharma to steady the ship. His experience at the top of the order may be crucial as MI seek to finish strongly and earn a playoff spot.
All Eyes on Rohit’s Role
Though Ruturaj Gaikwad has been captaining the side in the absence of Rohit, who relinquished the captaincy, most fans are eager to know how the equation will be with Rohit returning to the playing XI. While he might feature as a batter exclusively, there is also a chance he could serve as a more consulted role. Up until now, however, the management and players have maintained a dignified silence.
MI Fans Welcome the Hitman
Fans swarmed social media with videos and pictures of Rohit in the nets, most of them rejoicing and relieved at seeing the “Hitman” back on the field. With the resumption of the IPL 2025 just a few days away, MI fans are optimistic that Rohit’s return will bring much-needed confidence into the team.
While MI prepares for their next game, everyone will be looking at Rohit Sharma—his form, his role, and the contribution he can make in what could prove to be one of his last IPL campaigns.
