MI’s last IPL 2024 match ends with Rohit Sharma leaving to a standing ovation, fueling exit rumors

The final match of the season for MI was against LSG in the Indian Premier League 2024. Rohit Sharma scored 68 runs off of 38 deliveries. The audience at Wankhede gave him a well-deserved standing ovation.On Friday, Rohit Sharma put a stop to a run of low scores in the Indian Premier League by hitting a magnificent 68 off 38 deliveries during the match against Lucknow Super Giants in Mumbai. This was also the match in which he ended a stretch of low scores. Rohit made a timely return to run-scoring before he transitions into national colors in preparation for the forthcoming Twenty20 World Cup in the Americas. Despite the fact that the innings did not aid MI, the team was defeated by 18 runs in its final encounter of the season.

While the Mumbai Indians were dealing with a season that was full of controversy, Rohit Sharma also had a season that was marked by uneven performance with the bat. After getting off to a strong start with the bat, which featured a century against his fiercest rivals, the Chennai Super Kings, Rohit’s form began to deteriorate, as he was removed on four times with scores in the single digits in his subsequent six matches.On the other hand, Rohit demonstrated his aggressiveness against the bowlers of the LSG by delivering a quickfire knock during a 215-run chase on Friday.

He smashed the ball all over the park until being eventually removed by Ravi Bishnoi in the eleventh over of the run chase. An enthusiastic round of applause was given to Rohit by the audience at Wankhede as he was leaving.

A video that went viral last week showed Rohit Sharma appearing to vent his unhappiness at MI in a conversation with Abhishek Nayar, a former Mumbai batter. This has led to a great amount of conjecture regarding Rohit Sharma’s future with the organization. Anil Kumble, a former captain of India and a famous bowler, made a veiled reference to Rohit’s possible departure from the Indian Premier League (MI) after the 2024 season. He also insisted that certain teams will hunt for a new skipper before the next edition of the tournament.

Even before the tournament began, there were difficulties surrounding the team, which made the 2024 season difficult for both the Michigan team and its supporters. Fans took to various social media sites to express their disapproval of Hardik Pandya and the management of the Mumbai Indians (MI) when the all-rounder was taken over as the captain of the team, succeeding Rohit Sharma. It was not helpful for Hardik that his personal performances continued to be unsatisfactory during the entire season; he did not record a single half-century and scored only 216 runs for the team in a total of 14 matches.When Suryakumar Yadav takes on the Indian colors, he will also be looking to better his performance with the bat, despite the fact that he had a season that was not particularly successful. While this is going on, Rohit and Hardik will trade places, with Rohit taking over the job of captain once more and Hardik being given the position of deputy captain in the 15-person squad.

To switch to World Cup mode, Rohit, Hardik, and the rest of the team
Considering that the Indian Premier League is no longer an option for MI, their Indian stars, who are also among the most important members of the Indian team, would be looking to move on from the disappointing campaign and concentrate on the forthcoming Twenty20 World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah, who has been the most consistent performance for the squad this year, was given a rest on Friday in favor of Arjun Tendulkar, which is an indication that preparations are beginning to get underway for the Indian team.
