Rohit Sharma Isn't Staying With MI Teammates During Home IPL 2024 Games. Here's Why

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma revealed that he does not stay with his Mumbai Indians teammates during the home matches in the ongoing IPL 2024.

I am not sure what you can do about it, but I am not a fan of it," said Rohit in the Club Prairie Fire podcast.

"It is entertaining though, as there are 12 players to select from and whoever that Impact player is, can see how the game is going and change it based on what you need, and how the pitch is behaving. If you bat well and don't lose too many wickets, you can add a bowler, which gives you the option of having 6-7 bowlers. You
