Can RCB Afford Rohit Sharma?
Will RCB be able to buy Rohit Sharma? On this, the Indian team’s off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that this would not be the right option for the franchise because Rohit will be sold very expensive and there is less chance of the franchise having more money. While talking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin, while answering a fan’s question, said that if the franchise goes to buy Rohit, then assume 20 crores for him. He said, “If you are going for Rohit Sharma, then you will have to keep 20 crores. 20 crores disappeared there.”
The franchise has a player like Virat Kohli whom it will retain. To retain Virat, the team will have to pay a maximum of 18 crores. On the other hand, if Rohit comes into the auction, then he will also have to fight with other teams and in such a situation Rohit’s price will touch Assam. This amount can be more than 20 crores.

Rohit’s Achievements with Mumbai Indians
Captain Rohit Sharma, who won the T20 World Cup for the Indian team, has been in Mumbai Indians since 2011. He captained the team since 2013 and won the title in the very first year. Mumbai has won the title five times under Rohit’s captaincy. Last year, when the team made Pandya the captain, Rohit was unhappy with this. There were also reports of differences between Pandya and Rohit in the team. However, in the World Cup held after the IPL, both of them forgot everything and played an important role in winning the title for the country.
The upcoming IPL auction will reveal if any franchise is willing to bet big on Rohit Sharma.
