Rohit Sharma can become the captain of LSG in IPL 2025, Jonty Rhodes gave big hints

For all speculations regarding the joining of Indian captain Rohit Sharma to the Lucknow Super Giants franchise in this coming season of the Indian Premier League, LSG fielding coach Jonty Rhodes has provided one massive statement. The biggest mega auction is fast approaching in the IPL 2025 season, while still there is uncertainty over Rohit's future. Recently, speculations of Rohit Sharma's leaving Mumbai Indians have been heating up. Meanwhile, former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes, who spent time with five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians, has doled out great praise on Rohit Sharma as a captain and an opening batsman.

Jonty Rhodes said to ANI, "For a long period of time, I felt at Mumbai Indians that I had the best job in the world and managed to watch Rohit Sharma practice, play cricket there; he is very, very brilliant." Surprised as Rhodes is by the brilliance of Rohit on the field, he does not feel the presence of Rohit is necessary for the success of LSG.

Jonty Rhodes said that I like watching Rohit Sharma bat, but I am not saying that he should replace someone by joining the team and then suddenly we change our setup. Whoever it is, who is it? I will try my best to support. At the same time, when asked about Rahul's future for the team, Rhodes said that he is not the one to take the decision about retaining the players. He said that happily, I do not have to worry about this right now.

Apart from the news about Rohit Sharma's future, the franchise's skipper KL Rahul's peculiar situation has also been making headlines. Rumours suggest that Rahul is unlikely to play another match for LSG after franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka had a heated exchange with the wicketkeeper-batsman after the loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
