IPL 2025 Auction: Multiple reports have claimed that Rohit Sharma may join Virat Kohli at RCB in 2025, but how much of it is true? Not long back, former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif suggested the same. But, will a move of such magnitude actually take place? Former RCB superstar Ab de Villiers has dismissed speculation by Mohammad Kaif that Rohit Sharma could lead RCB in IPL 2025. In a video, De Villiers laughed off the suggestion, calling it “the biggest story of the IPL.”
‘Don’t see a possibility of MI leaving Rohit’
“I almost laughed at the Rohit comment. That will be quite a story if Rohit moves from Mumbai Indians to RCB. Wow! Imagine the headlines. It will be bigger than Hardik Pandya ‘s move. He moved from Gujarat Titans back to Mumbai, which although wasn’t big a surprise. But if Rohit moves from Mumbai to join his rivals in RCB…oh my god! I don’t think there is an option there. I don’t see a possibility of MI leaving Rohit. I will give that zero or 0.1 per cent chance,” De Villiers said during a live Q&A session on YouTube.
Will FDP Continue to Lead RCB?
The former RCB legend also backed Faf to lead RCB in the upcoming season, saying that even Kohli would want the veteran South African to continue.
“Age is just a number, guys. I don’t see why his turning 40 would be an issue. He has been there for a few seasons, and the players are used to him. I understand there has been pressure on him because he hasn’t won the trophy for RCB, but he has been exceptional as a player. I think Virat will back him with all his experience,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Retention rules are out but it is not confirmed when the auction will take place. The franchises would have to submit the names of the retained players soon.
