After the end of the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League on Tuesday, 10 November - Mumbai Indians win the Dream11 IPL 2020 title against Delhi Capitals. This looked like a one-sided encounter as the defending champions beat DC by 6 wickets and 8 balls to spare. For Delhi, skipper Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant scored crucial half-centuries. In response to that, Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma also scored a well-crafted half-century and guided his team to the victory.



The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is now planning to add 2 more team to the Indian Premier League. There will be mini auction only before IPL 2021.



<h2>Updates on IPL 2021:</h2>



However, reportedly, the BCCI has already begun the planning and preparations of IPL 2021. The BCCI is looking to feature two new teams in the next edition of the Indian Premier League which is to be played in early 2021. But now in BCCI AGM it's decided to add new teams before IPL 2022.



Earlier, Sourav Ganguly in an interview said that IPL 2021 will take place from April to May. The BCCI is also keen on bringing the T20 tournament back to India for the next edition of IPL if the COVID scenes are good enough to conduct IPL and Vaccine will be in place. However, UAE will be kept as a backup option, said Sourav Ganguly, BCCI President.



New development?on?IPL new teams, BCCI sources said that due to the tight timeline new team might be added in 2022 only.?Also, there?is?a bigger change?to have Mini auction only before IPL 2021 where?teams?can bid for new players.



IPL 2021 Auction date - 11 February 2021.



<h2>New Team in IPL 2021:</h2>



As per the reports from various sources, the new franchise might be based on Ahmedabad city. BCCI president, Sourav Ganguly had previously hinted for the addition of a new team. It seems that hint looks to be true.



The addition of the ninth team to IPL 2021 is learned to be a strategical move by BCCI. Previously, due to COVID, BCCI struggled to find the title sponsor after VIVO backed out due to anti-China sentiments. In the meantime, BCCI found the title sponsor as Dream11 but the bidding amount was not enough to carry the load. In response to low bidding, the BCCI halved the prize money to the franchises, which they get after winning the title.

Rohit Sharma to be India?s Limited over Cricket (T20I and ODI). The Indian opener to be India?s White ball captain. The Mumbai skipper, Rohit Sharma to be India?s Limited over Cricket (T20I and ODI).



<h2>Rohit Sharma's 5th IPL title:</h2>



Rohit Sharma recently led Mumbai Indians to the fifth title of the Indian Premier League and a consecutive second title. The Mumbai Skipper is the only captain to lift IPL titles 5 times as a captain and Rohit also holds the record for winning the IPL Title most number of times. Rohit is on the IPL winning side six times. 5 times for Mumbai Indians as a captain and one time with Deccan Chargers as a player.



After the brilliant leadership to guide his team to straight 5th title in 8 seasons, Rohit came into the limelight of being the supreme manager and leader for his team. The cricket experts went wild to praise the skipper for winning the title 5th time. The cricketing fraternity wants India to make Rohit Sharma as their white-ball Capitan.



<h2>Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir on Rohit Sharma:</h2>



The former Indian explosive opener Gautam Gambhir said, Rohit is the most destructive batsman and a strategist Leader. He should be appointed as India?s White ball captain.



?If Rohit Sharma doesn?t become India?s captain, it?s India?s loss, not Rohit?s,? Gambhir told ESPNCricinfo.



?Yes, a captain is only as good as his team and I completely agree with that, but what are the parameters to judge a captain on who is good and who isn?t? The parameters and benchmark should be the same. Rohit has led his team to five IPL titles,? Gautam Gambhir.



Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals in the final fo Dream11 IPL 2020 by five wickets and won the Indian T20 League for the 5th time.



?We keep saying MS Dhoni is India?s most successful captain. Why? Because he has won two World Cups and three IPLs,? Gambhir said.



?Rohit has won five IPL titles, he is the most successful captain in the history of the tournament. Going forward, it?ll be a shame if he doesn?t get India?s white-ball or just T20 captaincy."



<h2>Former English skipper, Michael Vaughan on Rohit Sharma:</h2>



<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Without question Rohit Sharma should be the Indian T20 captain .. fantastic man manager &amp; leader .. &amp; he knows exactly how to win T20 games .. it would also give Virat chance to take a breather and just be the player .. it?s works for all other teams around the world ..<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IPL2020?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IPL2020</a>? Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) <a href="https://twitter.com/MichaelVaughan/status/1326225361366093825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 10, 2020</a></blockquote>



The former English skipper took no time to praise Mumbai Indians, Skipper Rohit Sharma over his superb captaincy. He took Twitter to applaud and congratulate Mumbai Indians on their 5th title win.



Vaughan reckoned, Rohit Sharma should be handed over the T20I leadership. He also said it will give chances to Virat to handle the workload easily and focus more as a player.



?Without question, Rohit Sharma should be the Indian T20 captain. Fantastic man-manager &amp; leader and he knows exactly how to win T20 games. It would also give Virat a chance to take a breather and just be the player. It works for all other teams around the world."
