Ravichandran Ashwin says he expects Rohit Sharma may join the Mumbai Indians setup as a coach after his playing career ends. Ashwin frames the idea as a plausible next step for Rohit, pointing to his perceived tactical understanding and the potential value of such experience to the franchise.
Ashwin also suggests that other top players may approach coaching differently. In his view, Virat Kohli could choose to take a break from cricket before moving into coaching roles. He links these possibilities to broader changes in cricket’s employment landscape, arguing that the growth of franchise cricket is creating more specialist positions for former players. He mentions roles such as mentor and director of cricket as examples that are likely to become more common for successful cricketers.
Across the reporting, both outlets present Ashwin’s comments as predictions rather than confirmed plans, with no mention of formal agreements or timelines.
