News India Live, Digital Desk: Just yesterday we told you that Virat Kohli is playing for Delhi, and today the news has come that Team India captain Rohit Sharma has also tightened his belt. Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has announced its 16-member squad for Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, and the biggest name in it is ‘Hitman’ Rohit Sharma. This is the talk of the cricket circles at the moment. The end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026 is going to be no less than a festival for Indian fans. Rohit Sharma, returning to domestic ODI after 8 years, last played the Vijay Hazare Trophy match for Mumbai in 2017. Now after almost 8 years, he is returning in his home team’s jersey (Blue & Gold). Rohit will join the team for the first 2 matches. This is a great opportunity for him to adapt himself to the ODI mode before the upcoming Champions Trophy (2026) and New Zealand series. Rohit will play, but will not captain! Not surprising, but a smart decision. The responsibility of captaincy of Mumbai has been handed over to senior all-rounder and our favorite ‘Lord’ Shardul Thakur. Rohit Sharma will be in the role of a batsman and mentor in the team. Imagine, when a legend like Rohit Sharma is sitting in the dressing room, what will be the level of enthusiasm of the young players! Khan Brothers and Mumbai’s ‘Dabangg’ team, Rohit is not the only one in the team. Sarfaraz Khan, who recently made a splash in the Test for Team India, is also an important part of the team. And the ‘icing on the cake’ is that his younger brother Musheer Khan (who is an Under-19 star) will also be seen playing with him. Jugalbandi of ‘Khan Brothers’ and Rohit’s class – Mumbai’s batting lineup is enough to make any opposing team sweat. Apart from this, the team also includes lions of domestic cricket like Tanush Kotian, Shams Mulani and Siddhesh Lad. Note the schedule of Rohit Sharma: If you are in Jaipur or planning to watch the match on TV, then book these dates: 24 December: Mumbai vs Sikkim 26 December: Mumbai vs Uttarakhand The end of the year couldn’t be better than this. Kohli on one side and Rohit on the other side, fans will never forget these ‘acche din’ of domestic cricket!
