Rohit Sharma Should Stop Playing IPL 2025 For Mumbai Indians. Here's Why

And hence, one reckons Rohit should ideally stop playing IPL and focus on preparing well and prioritising the Indian cricket team. Remember, Rohit is 37 and is not getting any younger. Also, what does not work in his favour is that he is not the most agile in the field. The question is, shouldn't it be wise on Rohit's part to stop playing IPL, rewind, reboot and get ready for the upcoming tour of England after the IPL. 

Rohit Should Take The Brook Route

England's batting sensation Harry Brook recently revealed that he will stop playing all T20 franchise league to lay more focus on performing for his country, England. One reckons if Rohit wants to continue on, he should take a leaf out of Brook's book and relieve himself from playing the cash-rich league. Brook, who was signed up by the Delhi-based franchise for the IPL 2025 season at Rs 6.25 Crore in the mega auction last November, pulled out of the T20 extravaganza following England's Champions Trophy exit.

“England is the way forward for me and franchise cricket can almost take a step back for a little while,” Brook told the BBC.

If Rohit stops playing IPL, he will get two-and-a-half months each year to help his body recover. Fitness would be a very important aspect for Rohit going ahead and that is the factor that could decide how long he can continue on representing India. As per reports, Rohit is reluctant to hang up his boots. For the unversed, he retired from T20Is after leading India to the 2024 T20 World Cup triumph.
