Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024 title under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. This happened when Rohit Sharma was removed by his IPL franchise Mumbai Indians even after being the captain for 10 years and winning the title 5 times. Since then, there have been constant talks that Rohit may leave Mumbai Indians and play for another team next season. A mega auction is also to be held before the next season and in such a situation, its possibility seems high. But if Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has his way, then Rohit can remain with Mumbai. Yes, Shah Rukh i.e. the owner of IPL 2024 champion Kolkata Knight Riders.

Now you must be thinking that how can KKR owner Shahrukh take a decision which is in the hands of Mumbai Indians owners? We will give you the answer to this later. First it is important to know where this news came from. Actually, on Wednesday 31st July, a meeting of board officials with IPL team owners was held at BCCI headquarters. The reason for this meeting was to discuss the change in rules before the next season of the league, in which the issue of player retention was the most important. Player retention was discussed but an issue came up in this meeting which can change IPL forever.

Shahrukh made a big demand from BCCI

So the thing is that this time a mega auction is to be organized before the next season of IPL. Now what happens in the mega auction is that the teams are able to retain only 3-4 players and they have to prepare the squad again. In such a situation, many teams that perform well also have to change their team. This is the reason why in this meeting of BCCI, Shahrukh Khan demanded to end the mega auction forever. According to the report of Cricbuzz, not only Shahrukh, but some other franchise owners apart from him also expressed their desire to stop the mega auction in front of BCCI officials.

Will Rohit Sharma stay in Mumbai?

Since the beginning of IPL, a mega auction has been held after every three seasons, which is watched closely by the players as well as the fans. This also becomes a source of entertainment in itself. In such a situation, it remains to be seen whether the BCCI accepts this demand of the franchise owners or not. Now if the BCCI accepts this demand of Shahrukh Khan and decides to end the mega auction and conduct only a mini auction, then it is certain that Mumbai Indians will retain its former captain and star batsman Rohit Sharma. Yes, if Rohit himself asks the franchise to release him, then it is a different matter, but many teams including KKR and Mumbai will benefit from the end of the mega auction.
