The question arises as to who will lead Mumbai Indians if Rohit Sharma is rested for some matches
The question whether Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma will be present throughout the IPL matches is being raised from many angles. The team’s press conference also raised the question of who will lead Mumbai Indians if Rohit Sharma is rested for some matches.
When asked whether Rohit will be rested, the player said, “I leave it to coach Mark Boucher.” The coach’s reply was that if Rohit asks for rest, he will give it for sure. Rohit may be rested in some matches due to workload. In that case Suryakumar Yadav will lead the team in Rahul’s absence.
The final of the World Test Championship will be held at the Oval in London immediately after the IPL season. Apart from this, the 50-over World Cup is held in the months of October-November. Rohit will lead the Indian team in both of these. The Indian Express understands that Rohit is also likely to choose which IPL matches he plays this season, although Rohit will continue to travel with the team and guide Suryakumar from the dugout when not playing.
