On January 8, 2011, during the IPL auction in Bangalore, Mumbai Indians made a strategic move by signing Rohit Sharma, an acquisition that would redefine the franchise’s fortunes. Although the exact figure of $2 million for his signing isn’t confirmed, Sharma’s influence on the team is well-documented.
Under his leadership and prowess, Mumbai Indians clinched IPL titles in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020, alongside securing the Champions League T20 in 2013.
Fans and cricket analysts often credit Sharma for elevating Mumbai Indians from underdogs to a powerhouse in the IPL.
However, recent discussions among fans highlight mixed feelings about the franchise’s loyalty towards Sharma, especially with rumors of his potential trade or release ahead of the IPL 2025 auction.
