Rohit Sharma to Retire From IPL? Ashwin Draws Dhoni Parallel

Ravichandran Ashwin has dismissed speculation regarding Rohit Sharma concluding his Indian Premier League career, suggesting his tenure could mirror the extended playing years seen with MS Dhoni. Additionally, Ashwin identified Naman Dhir as a future leadership prospect for the Mumbai Indians due to his composed demeanor.

Regarding the current squad, Ashwin anticipates that Hardik Pandya will likely be traded by the franchise, potentially in exchange for a leg-spinner or a left-arm pace bowler. This follows a period of intense criticism surrounding Pandya's captaincy, during which the team struggled to reach the playoffs in two of his three seasons at the helm.
