“If MS Dhoni retires then Rohit Sharma can lead CSK in 2025”:- Ambati Rayudu.

Former cricketer Ambati Rayudu has expressed his desire for Rohit Sharma to join the Chennai Super Kings in the 2025 season. Rayudu also suggested that if MS Dhoni retires after the upcoming season, Sharma could potentially lead the five-time champions in the IPL.

The recent return of Hardik Pandya to the Mumbai Indians has sparked changes within the franchise, with Pandya being appointed as the new captain. This decision led to speculation among cricketers, evidenced by cryptic Instagram stories. The situation escalated when Rohit’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, criticized Mark Boucher’s comments, which suggested that Rohit’s performance in recent IPL editions had not been up to par.

Rayudu believes that Rohit Sharma, as the Indian skipper, still has several years of IPL cricket ahead of him and that any team would be fortunate to have him. He implied that if Rohit Sharma were to consider a move, the Chennai Super Kings would welcome him with open arms in the upcoming season.

Rayudu said “Rohit Sharma can play IPL for the next 5-6 years. if he wants to captain, the whole world is open for him. He can easily captain wherever he wants. I want Rohit Sharma to play for CSK in 2025, if MS (Dhoni) retires then Rohit can lead as well.”
