NDTV
As MI's disastrous season ended in the IPL 2024, Mark Boucher was asked about the future of former skipper Rohit Sharma with the team.
After finishing the IPL 2024 season at the bottom of the points table, Mumbai Indians (MI) head coach Mark Boucher looked back and spoke his heart on a number of challenges the team faced over the last two months. After losing to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Mumbai's Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season came to an abrupt end, finishing last in the IPL standings. As MI's disastrous season ended in the IPL 2024, Boucher was asked about the future of former skipper Rohit Sharma with the team and the head coach said that the opener is a master of his own destiny.
In MI's last match of the season, opener Rohit showed the erratic nature of T20I by going through a slump after a bright start to the season.
"For me, he is a master of his own destiny. It's a big auction next season who knows what's going to happen?" Boucher said in a post-match press conference.
Talking about the former MI skipper's performance, Boucher said it was a season of two halves for the opener as he had a strong start to the season and hammered the ball well into the netting. The head coach also said that Rohit was headed in the right direction so that we could run some excellent races.
"I had a discussion with Rohit Sharma last night. We reviewed the season this year. After that, I asked him what's next? and Rohit said 'the World Cup'", he added.
