He could not play IPL in the year 2021 and thereafter in 2022. No team placed bets on him during the auction.
Mohit Sharma had become a net bowler
Mohit was neither playing IPL nor did he see any possibility of returning to Team India. In such a situation, he made a comeback as a net bowler. He joined Gujarat Titans and was making the permanent players of the team bowl in the nets. The player who had played international matches for Team India became a net bowler. But it is said that if you have talent, days change. Something similar happened with Mohit Sharma also. Seeing his brilliant bowling in the nets, GT included him in his team.
