Rohit  Sharma is considered one of the legendary captains of the Indian Premier League. With five IPL trophies under his belt, Rohit has made himself a fabled tale in the tournament as a leader.

Players who have played under Rohit Sharma have often told that he is a great leader who often brings out the best from his players with his words of encouragement. Rohit's words of wisdom are often valued by all the players and even though he is not the current MI captain, his actions on the field prove that he is a key member in the leadership core of the team.

Raju Gets Words Of Encouragement From Rohit Sharma

Ahead of the ongoing IPL 2025 match between Gujarat Titans and the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma was seen hugging Satyanarayana Raju. Notably, Raju is the pacer that the Mumbai Indians have selected for this game. In order to maintain the composition of the team they dropped Vignesh Puthur the rising star who grabbed the attention of the spectators with hios bowling in the first game against CSK.

However, this is not the IPL debut for Raju. In the first match of the tournament against the Super Kings, Raju played. He was given only one over in that game and he conceded 13 runs in them. The fans were perplexed by MI's decision to ignore Puthur and include Raju in this game. But MI have the champion pedigree in them and there must be a huge tactical reason behind the decision they have taken.
