CricTracker's Dream IPL XI after 10 seasons

#4 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma was initially picked up by Deccan Chargers in the first auction for USD 750,000. He stayed with the side for 3 years but moved to Mumbai Indians when he bagged the bid of USD 2 million. Midway through the 2013 season, he was appointed as the skipper of the side after the poor performance of Ricky Ponting as the leader. He has been the prominent captain of the side ever since.

Impact

He was the second highest run-getter for DC in the first season and once again was amongst the runs in the next season where his side lifted the trophy. He played a key role on the bouncy tracks of South Africa and was awarded the best Under-23 player of the season. He went on to lead the Mumbai Indians side in 2013 season and the team won the trophy for the first time.

Under his leadership, MI entered the playoffs in 2014 and became the champions once more in 2015. In the following season, they made it to the playoffs and won the championship for the third time in 2017. Rohit became the most successful captain in IPL history as he captained his side to 3 IPL titles. The right-hander is the only player to be a part of 4 IPL winning squads.
