Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has previously hosted a quiz show, while 1983 World Cup winner Sandeep Patil hosted a show where he cooked for various guests.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, another OTT platform Zee5 unveiled a show titled &#8220;Cricket Darbar&#8221;, with former India batsman Shikhar Dhawan as the host. In that show Dhawan engages with a live audience in a series of tasks with a celebrity guest.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"rohit_sharma_in_ipl_2026\">Rohit Sharma in IPL 2026<\/h2>\n<p>As expected, Sharma started the 2026 IPL season as a key part of the Mumbai Indians, but an injury forced him to miss the match midway through.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, he has played 5 of his team&#8217;s 10 matches in the tournament. Rohit injured his toe during the fourth match, but also suffered a hamstring injury, which delayed his return.<\/p>\n<p>He has scored 221 runs in five matches at an average of more than 55 and a strike rate of 174. He has also scored two half-centuries. In fact, both of his half-centuries were scores of over 75 that came while successfully chasing a target of 220 or more.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: Sanju Samson will become India&#8217;s T20I captain, Ajit Agarkar drops Shreyas Iyer<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"rohit_sharma_s_current_career_and_potential_post_retirement\">Rohit Sharma&#8217;s current career and prospects after retirement<\/h2>\n<p>Although he is still in the IPL, Rohit Sharma has retired from both Test cricket and T20Is. He is currently playing only ODIs and his eyes are on the ODI World Cup to be held in South Africa next year.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2025, Sharma was sacked as India&#8217;s ODI captain despite winning the Champions Trophy. He retired from T20I after leading India to the T20 World Cup title in 2024. Earlier that year, he was sacked as captain of Mumbai Indians despite leading the franchise to five IPL titles.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Rohit has worked at a few media events, serving as the brand ambassador for both the T20 World Cup in 2026 and the Mumbai T20 League.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mumbai_indians_next_match\">next match of mumbai indians<\/h2>\n<p>MI will play defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore in the next match. This match will be held on May 10 at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium in Raipur.<\/p>\n<p>Although Mumbai Indians are almost out of the playoff race, they have a chance to spoil the game as RCB have lost their last two matches. But, MI has already lost to RCB once this season.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former India and Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has created a new buzz by appearing in an advertisement for a new TV show.
