Rohit Sharma is determined to win back the Indian Premier League (IPL). He led the Mumbai Indians to five trophies. Although he is no longer the captain of the franchise, he has made it clear that his “immediate goal is to win the IPL trophy and bring the glory back to Mumbai Indians.
” Mumbai Indians have played three matches in IPL 2025, losing two and winning just one against Kolkata Knight Riders by eight wickets. They are currently reeling at the fifth spot in the league. MI last won an IPL title in 2020.
Last season, under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, the team managed to win only four out of 14 league matches and finished at the bottom of the table. “We understand that winning trophies is not easy. To win the IPL, you have to put in a lot of effort, and many factors need to come together.
That’s the challenge of this tournament. You need to win 17 games—it’s almost half a year’s worth of T20 matches, but played in just two months. That is the challenge.
There are many boxes to tick before you get to the trophy. Hopefully, we can have a great season with the exciting young players in our squad. My focus is not just on saying ‘we will win trophies’ but on ensuring we do the right things.
If we do that, success will follow,” Rohit told JioStar. Speaking about his role in the team, Rohit said, “Since I started, things have obviously changed. I used to bat in the middle order; now, I open the innings.
I was the captain; now, I’m not. Some of my teammates from our championship-winning seasons are now in coaching roles. So, roles have changed—a lot has changed—but the mindset remains the same.
What I want to do for this team has not changed, and that is to go out there and win games and trophies.” Mumbai Indians will travel to Lucknow to take on Lucknow Super Giants on April 4.
