Rohit Sharma Unhappy at Mumbai Indians? Viral Video Sparks Controversy Amid Poor Form!

The IPL 2025 hasn’t been a good start for the Mumbai Indians team as they have been struggling in the points table with just 1 win out of the 3 games played. The team has been performing below par and hence is looking to get to a fresh start now. However, in between, a video has gone viral where Rohit Sharma is seen and is talking about something which the fans have been speculating that he isn’t happy with the Mumbai Indians management.

Rohit, who has had a tough start to the season with the bat, has managed just 13 runs in three matches. His scores so far include 8 runs against Gujarat Titans, a duck against Chennai Super Kings, and another single-digit score in the third game. With Mumbai struggling and Rohit not in form, his recent video has only fueled speculation about his mindset.

The viral video shows Rohit Sharma talking to Lucknow Super Giants mentor Zaheer Khan, where he was heard saying, “Jab karna tha tab kar diya, ab kuch karne ki zarurat nahi”. This statement has led to widespread speculation among fans and analysts, with many believing that Rohit is hinting at his dissatisfaction with Mumbai Indians. The situation became even more interesting when Mumbai Indians initially removed the video from their official page, only to re-upload it later.

With the next game against Lucknow Super Giants, the pressure is mounting on both Rohit and Mumbai Indians to turn things around. If he can bounce back with a strong performance, it may silence the ongoing chatter. But for now, the speculation surrounding his happiness in the Mumbai Indians camp remains a major talking point among fans.

Rohit Sharma Was Removed from MI Captaincy in IPL 2024

Rohit was removed from Mumbai Indians’ captaincy before the start of the 2024 season, a move that was met with mixed reactions from fans. Although he continues to be an integral part of the squad, his role within the team seems to have changed. The franchise retained him for ₹16.30 crore this season, but his form and body language have raised questions about his motivation and involvement.

Hardik Pandya, who led Gujarat Titans to an IPL title in 2022 and a runner-up finish in 2023, was traded back to Mumbai and appointed as the new captain. Mumbai Indians’ management, led by Mahela Jayawardene, justified the change as part of their long-term vision, ensuring a seamless transition in leadership similar to past shifts from Sachin Tendulkar to Harbhajan Singh and Ricky Ponting to Rohit Sharma. Under Rohit’s leadership from 2013 to 2023, Mumbai Indians won five IPL titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020), making him one of the most successful captains in the league’s history.

Rohit Sharma Had a Similar Conversation with Abhishek Nayar in IPL 2024

In the IPL 2024 season too, Rohit Sharma was involved in a candid chat just like in the IPL 2025 season with Zaheer Khan. This time, he was seen conversing with KKR assistant coach Abhishek Nayar ahead of the MI vs. KKR clash. The video, which was later deleted, showed Rohit expressing his thoughts on the changes happening within the Mumbai Indians setup after Hardik Pandya replaced him as captain. He remarked, “Ek ek cheez change ho raha hai… Woh unke upar hai, main ye sab pe dhyaan nahi data”, indicating that he wasn’t focusing on the transformations.

He further stated, “Jo bhi hai woh mera ghar hai bhai, woh temple jo hai na maine banwaya hai”, emphasizing his deep emotional connection with Mumbai Indians, having led them to five IPL titles. Some social media users speculated that he said, “Bhai mera kya, mera toh last hai”, suggesting it could be his final season with MI. Meanwhile, MI struggled under Pandya’s leadership in the IPL 2024, ultimately failing to qualify for the playoffs, while KKR dominated the league.
