Παρόλο που ο Ρόδος θαυμάζει την κομψότητα του Ροχίτ στο γήπεδο, δεν πιστεύει ότι η παρουσία του Ρόχιτ είναι απαραίτητη για την LSG.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fielding coach Jonty Rhodes addressed the speculation building around India captain Rohit Sharma joining the franchise for the next Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. As the mega auction for the IPL 2025 season inches closer, uncertainty over Rohit’s future continues to loom around him. In recent times, speculations over Rohit potentially moving away from Mumbai Indians continue to grow rapidly.
Rhodes, who has closely monitored the seasoned batter’s progress during their time together with the five-time IPL champions, the former South African cricketer had nothing but praise for the dynamic opener.
Rohit Sharma in LSG for IPL 2025?
“I mean, for a long time at Mumbai Indians, I felt I had the best job in the world. I got to watch Rohit Shama practice and play cricket. He is so elegant,” Rhodes told ANI.
Even though Rhodes is in awe of the way Rohit exudes elegance on the field, Rhodes doesn’t feel that the presence of Rohit is compulsory for LSG in their pursuit of success.
“I mean, there’s the balance of teams, who’s in the side. I love watching Rohit Sharma bat, but I’m not saying he must come in and replace, and then suddenly we change our setup. So whatever, as I said, whatever happens, who is ever there? I’ll be doing my best to support,” he added.
Apart from the reports about Rohit’s future, the peculiar situation of the franchise skipper KL Rahul has also been in the limelight. The rumour mill suggests that Rahul is unlikely to play another match in LSG colours after franchise owner Sanjiv Goenka seemingly rebuked the wicketkeeper batter following their loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
When quizzed about Rahul’s future, Rhodes was glad that he wasn’t going to be the one making decisions over the retention of players. “Well, luckily, hypothetically, or in real life, that’s as a fielding coach. I don’t have to worry about that just now,” he added.
