Rohit Sharma Bids Farewell to Mumbai Indians After IPL 2025

Mumbai, India — Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Mumbai Indians, has bid farewell to the team following the conclusion of their IPL 2025 campaign. The team exited the tournament after a disappointing season, missing the playoffs for the first time in several years.

In an emotional press conference, Sharma expressed gratitude for the journey he has had with the franchise since its inception in 2008. He stated, “It has been an incredible journey for me. The Mumbai Indians are not just a team; they are family.”

Sharma’s announcement follows a meeting with former teammate Arjun Tendulkar earlier this week, where the pair discussed their experiences and challenges throughout the tournament. Arjun, who has recently started making a name for himself in the cricketing world, shared, “Rohit has been an inspiration for me, and I will miss having him in the dressing room.”

The Mumbai Indians have won the IPL title multiple times under Sharma’s leadership, and his departure marks a significant shift for the franchise. Speculation is already growing about the next steps for the team and who will take on the captaincy role moving forward.

Sharma closed the press conference with a heartfelt message to fans, saying, “Thank you for always supporting us. I will cherish these memories forever.”
