Rohit Sharma became the captain for Mumbai Indians after Ricky Ponting gave up his position in the 2013 season. The change in captaincy had a great effect on MI’s fortunes as they moved on to clinch their maiden title.

Rohit has been one of the best skippers in the IPL. The Indian opening batsman has led MI to three titles. The swashbuckling cricketer also played his part in the rise of talented cricketers like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya.

Rohit is the third leading run-scorer in IPL history behind Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina. He has scored 4496 runs at an average of 31.96. Game-changing batting performances and splendid leadership skills made Mumbai retain him as their captain for INR 15 crores in 2018.
