[Watch] Rohit Sharma receives standing ovation from Wankhede crowd after his last innings for MI in IPL 2024
Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Rohit Sharma ended his IPL 2024 campaign with a half-century against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). He lost his wicket for 68 and the crowd at the Wankhede Stadium gave him a standing ovation as he walked back to the dressing room.
Playing his final match of IPL 2024, Rohit Sharma came out to open the batting with South African youngster Dewald Brevis. The new opening pair stitched up a 88-run stand for MI at the top, with Rohit playing the aggressor's role.
Rohit scored 68 runs off 38 balls before handing a catch to Mohsin Khan off Ravi Bishnoi's bowling. As he walked back, almost the entire Wankhede Stadium lauded former MI captain for his impressive knock.

Wasim Jaffer thinks IPL fans will never see Rohit Sharma in the Mumbai Indians jersey again
Former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer posted a picture of Rohit last night on X. In the caption, Jaffer mentioned that he felt this was the last time fans saw the Hitman in Mumbai Indians colors.
"Have a feeling this is the last time we are seeing Rohit in Mumbai Indians jersey," Jaffer tweeted.
After the match between MI and LSG, Rohit was spotted having chats with Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani and Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka. It will be interesting to see if Rohit gets retained by MI ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction or if he finds a new home next season in the IPL.
