The rules for retaining players in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for 2025 have been released, leading to speculation about player transfers. One prominent example is India's cricket team captain, Rohit Sharma, who is reportedly set to leave his longtime team, Mumbai Indians, and join the Lucknow Super Giants for the upcoming IPL season. Rohit has been the captain of Mumbai Indians for many years, but after Hardik Pandya took over the captaincy, there are reports that Rohit will be moving to Lucknow. This move could help Lucknow save a spot in their retention list. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya is expected to continue as the captain of the Mumbai Indians team.

If Rohit Sharma joins Lucknow Super Giants, it will be intriguing to observe how he contributes and in what role. After winning the ICC T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from T20 cricket. However, he continues to lead the Indian team in ODIs and Test matches.
