Star India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin shared his views saying that opener Rohit Sharma will not leave the Mumbai Indians franchise and will continue playing for the franchise in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Last year, Hardik replaced Rohit as the skipper of one of the most successful franchises in the history of the tournament. The decision from the franchise didn't go down well with some sections of the fanbase which led to some criticism. "Even if you think like Rohit, it's not wrong at all. I don't want any headache. I have been a captain for India. I have captained Mumbai many times. Even if I am not a captain, I am going to Mumbai happily. If I play for Mumbai, it's super. I am sure most players are like that. After a stage, money doesn't matter for some of those players. That's the thing," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant will seek a record-extending 18th title when they face first-time finalists NorthEast United FC in the Durand Cup summit showdown here on Saturday, hoping the injury concerns over skipper Subhasish Bose would not come in their way.

Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra on Friday acknowledged training Indian athletes across sports on the aspect of mental health remains a "work in progress", while adding that benefits of the same must reach grassroots level. Bindra said mental health directly influences overall well-being of an athlete and sports administrators also share equal responsibility in it. "It's an area where there is work in progress — we all acknowledge that. We are a sporting ecosystem which is developing. It is slowly maturing," he said during a virtual interaction organised by Mpower to launch AMP: A Sports Psychology Division to Elevate Athlete Performance.
The Lucknow Super Giants are preparing for a fresh hunt for the Indian Premier League (IPL) title, and many changes are expected in the team at the mega auction. While it isn't yet known if skipper KL Rahul will continue to lead the team, a big change has already been brought in by the bosses, with Zaheer Khan coming into the side as a mentor. LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, who recently introduced Zaheer as the team's mentor, spoke of the need to have an Indian mind in the support staff to get the best out of the players, hence the legendary pacer was signed.
