Srinagar: Former Pakistan captain and KKR mentor, Wasim Akram has made a huge claim predicting that Rohit Sharma isnt going to be with Mumbai Indians next season of IPL.
The five-time champions made the big decision this season by appointing Hardik Pandya as the skipper, which stirred controversy as the critics and fans expressed their displeasure over Rohit’s removal from the position.
Akram, who has earlier expressed his displeasure over MI’s decision to sack Rohit, said that he would love to see the swashbuckling opener join two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders next season under Gautam Gambhir’s mentorship.
“I have a feeling, he won’t be at Mumbai Indians next season. I would love to see him at KKR. Imagine him open there, Gauti as a mentor, Iyer as a captain. They will have a very strong batting, at that wicket (Eden Gardens). He bats very well on any wicket, he is that great a player. But it will be good to see him at KKR,” Akram told Sportskeeda.
Meanwhile, Rohit started the tournament on a high, but in the last six matches, it just went downhill for him with every passing game.
