Rohit Sharma can join Preity Zinta's Punjab Kings, only this is the condition

The mega auction of IPL is about to come. Before this, the discussion about Rohit Sharma has intensified. After the T20 World Cup, his demand has increased even more. Recently it was claimed that Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants have saved Rs 50 crore each to buy Rohit. Last season, the news of his joining Kolkata Knight Riders also gained momentum. Meanwhile, Preity Zinta's team has also given a hint of buying Rohit Sharma. However, one condition has to be fulfilled for this.

Will Rohit join Preity Zinta's team?

Preity Zinta's Punjab Kings have not been able to reach the playoffs for the last ten seasons. Her team's performance has been consistently poor. Last season, she stated that there is no shortage of good players in her team, it just needs a leader. This makes it clear that she is looking for a good captain. On the other hand, there are speculations that Rohit Sharma may leave Mumbai Indians and go to some other team.

The mega auction is to be held before IPL 2025. In such a situation, Preity Zinta will want to buy him, but the first condition is that Rohit comes in the auction and the second condition is that Punjab Kings should have enough money to include him in the team. Punjab Kings' Head of Cricket Development Sanjay Bangar also gave a hint about including Rohit Sharma in the team on a recent podcast. He said that if Rohit comes in the auction, then his bid is going to be very high. Now it will depend on whether the franchise will have that much money left to buy Rohit at that time or not.

Mumbai Indians have won the IPL trophy 5 times under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Despite this, the franchise removed him from the captaincy last year. Hardik Pandya was made the captain of the team in his place. Since then, news of a rift in the entire team has surfaced. The news of tension between Rohit and Hardik regarding captaincy had been gaining momentum throughout the season.

Media reports also revealed that the Mumbai team will not retain Rohit and he may join some other team. A video of Rohit Sharma also went viral, in which it was claimed that he was talking about joining Kolkata Knight Riders. However, no claim has been confirmed yet. Now it remains to be seen what decision the Mumbai team takes regarding Rohit.
