Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians to their first win in 2013 and have won a total number of 5 titles in the Indian Premier League. After the Australian legend Ricky Pointing dropped himself out of the team due to poor form, Rohit Sharma was selected as a captain in 2013 and he won his first match being a captain against Kolkata Knight Riders, who were the defending champions, in their home ground Eden Gardens .
%u201CI have never captained for a continuous stretch at any level and this was a welcome change, for Mumbai Indians are a high-profile IPL franchise. John Wright and the seniors were helpful, but they let me do my own thing during the games. As captain, you cannot let your shoulders droop and there is this onus on doing well yourself, making a personal contribution. I became aware of the situations around me, but I became even more self-aware,%u201D said Rohit in 2013. He has been captaining for the team since 7 consecutive years and this will be his 8th year being a captain.
His first match is against Royal Challengers Bangalore on 9th April, 2021 at 7:30 pm IST. The match will be broadcasted on the Star Sports Network and the official online streaming partner is Disney + Hotstar.
