Legendary cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni were seen alongside current Indian captain Rohit Sharma in Mumbai recently. The trio is in the Maharashtra capital for the highly anticipated IPL 2024 showdown between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Mumbai Indians (MI).
This prestigious match will take place at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium on Sunday night. Both Rohit and Dhoni are no longer leading their respective teams, with Hardik Pandya and Ruturaj Gaikwad currently serving as captains.

“I see him in Chennai” -Michael Vaughan believes that Rohit Sharma will take over from MS Dhoni at CSK in IPL 2025
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has recently forecasted that Rohit Sharma could join the Chennai Super Kings in the upcoming season as a replacement for MS Dhoni, assuming the leadership position.
“I think he (Rohit) will go to Chennai, replace MS Dhoni. Gaikwad is doing it this year. Do you think it’s just a holding job? Maybe Rohit next year? I see him in Chennai. I see him there,” Vaughan told YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia on a podcast.
Regarding the criticism received by Hardik Pandya from fans during IPL 2024, Vaughan remarked:
“Hardik is going through a difficult time and it’s not his fault. He has been asked to come back to the Mumbai Indians. He has been asked to be the captain.”
”Who is going to say no to that? He has just been given a job that pretty much every single cricketer in India would like to do, captain the MI. I personally would have kept Rohit.”
He added:
“Hardik coming back to Mumbai is big enough pressure in itself. Rohit, once he had a good World Cup, he is obviously going to captain India in the T20 World Cup. The sensible move would have been Rohit captaining MI and Hardik, in mind, for the next year or year after.”
