5 Best buys by Mumbai Indians in IPL History

#3 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has an array of shots at his disposal and most of them are frame-worthy. Being in Deccan Chargers for first few seasons, he was bought for 2,000,000 US dollars in the year 2011. He has impressed with the bat for the next 2 years and slowly joined the core set of players of the team.

Sharma was given the captaincy in the year 2013 after a poor show from Ricky Ponting and he turned the tables with impressive captaincy skills that helped Mumbai Indians to clinch the title for the first time. He was made the regular captain in the following year.

The captaincy never dented his batting as he continued to put up a good show every year with the bat. Only once in his 5-year stint at Mumbai Indians, he has failed to reach 300 run mark in the tournament. Good batting and excellent captaincy, Rohit has become one of the vital players in the team thus proving his reasons to be in this list.

As expected, he was retained by the team management and the team under his captaincy is expected to roar back after a minor slump this year.
