There has been an uncertainity over Rohit's future at MI ever since he was relieved of his captaincy duties by franchise. MI appointed Hardik as captain for IPL 2024 but the five-time champions endured a disastrous season, finishing at the bottom of the 10-team points table.

Yashasvi Jaiswal will aim to add his bit to the combination conundrum with a handy contribution while Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj need to put their best foot forward during India's only T20 World Cup warm-up game against Bangladesh ahead of their tournament opener on June 5. With all 15 cricketers being regular playing XI members of their respective IPL franchises, the team is certainly not short on game time but an assortment of 15 high- calibre players and finding that perfect combination will be key to ending India's 13-year global trophy drought.
Ahead of their warm-up match against India, experienced Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has heaped praise on Men in Blue captain Rohit Sharma saying that he can change the result of a match single-handedly. Asian neighbours are scheduled to face each other in the warm-up match at Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York on Saturday. "I think the way he led India in the last few years was terrific. He has a tremendous record as a captain. I think all the players respect him as a leader of the team and he's someone who can take the game away from the opponent single-handedly," Shakib said in a Star Sports video posted on X.
The Indian cricket team will play three group stage matches of the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The Rohit Sharma-led side will take on Ireland on June 5 before the much-anticipated clash against Pakistan on June 9. India's last match at the venue will be against the United States on June 12. Before the tournament starts, India will also face Bangladesh in a warm-up match on Friday and ahead of that match, head coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma inspected the drop-in pitch at the venue.
There will be the usual favourites, the mavericks, the chokers and also the unpredictable minnows -- the script is familiar for a World Cup but the scale would be unprecedented when the T20 showpiece, featuring a record 20 teams, spearheads cricket's audacious charge into the American market starting in New York on Saturday. While India would be eager to shed the baggage of near-misses, Australia would like to add another chapter to their tale of domination. For the likes of Pakistan and West Indies, the primary target would be to keep in check their tendency to implode at the most inopportune time.
