IPL 2024: Focus On Old Warriors Kohli And Rohit As Mumbai Take On RCB
As Mumbai Indians: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been the mainstay of the national team and their respective franchises for more than a decade, scoring runs, winning matches, and leading their teams to titles at various levels. As Mumbai Indians get ready to take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 25 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, the focus shifts to the two old warlords who have a lot at stake in this year's tournament.
Both Rohit and Virat have fought numerous battles on the cricket field, they have led their respective teams, played under each other's captaincy at the national level and have crossed swords in the IPL on many occasions in the last 17 years.
But IPL 2024 brings new and different challenges for both of them. Despite leading Mumbai Indians to five titles so far, Rohit Sharma was unceremoniously dumped as captain as the franchise opted for the youngster Hardik Pandya, bringing him back from Gujarat Captain and appointing him the captain in a move that surprised the ardent fans, resulting in Pandya being booed in the first three matches.
