Kaif Urges RCB to Target Rohit Sharma

Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has urged Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to consider signing Rohit Sharma if he becomes available in the IPL 2025 auction, citing his exceptional leadership skills as key to finally securing RCB's elusive title. With speculation surrounding Rohit's future with Mumbai Indians (MI) after a controversial captaincy change to Hardik Pandya, Kaif emphasized Rohit's ability to build a competitive team despite his batting not always being dominant. Fans are rallying behind Rohit as the captain for the ODI World Cup 2027 after his recent success in leading India to victory in the T20 World Cup 2024. Kaif believes Rohit should take on the captaincy role exclusively in the IPL, as his tactical acumen could significantly benefit any franchise, particularly RCB, which has struggled historically with team balance. The IPL governing council's recent announcement of retention rules has added further urgency to these discussions, as teams prepare for the upcoming mega auction. If Rohit enters the auction, Kaif asserts that RCB should act decisively to secure his leadership.
