Mumbai Indians have ended all speculation surrounding Rohit Sharma’s rumored move to Kolkata Knight Riders — and they did it in style.
MI’s Playful Reply to Trade Rumours
Moments after KKR announced Abhishek Nayar as their new head coach, social media was buzzing with chatter about Rohit reuniting with his long-time mentor. But MI quickly stepped in with a cheeky post to shut down the gossip.
Putting their own spin on Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic dialogue from Don, the franchise wrote:
“Sun will rise tomorrow again ye toh confirm hai, but at (K)night… मुश्किल ही नहीं, नामुमकिन है!”
The witty caption left no room for doubt — Rohit Sharma is staying right where he belongs.
Rohit’s Steady 2025 Campaign
Despite the leadership change a couple of years ago, Rohit continues to be the backbone of MI’s batting lineup. In IPL 2025, he scored 418 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate close to 150, with four half-centuries and a top score of 81. His calm aggression and impeccable timing reaffirmed why he remains one of the most sought-after players in the league.
The Nayar Connection
The trade rumours gained traction after Abhishek Nayar, who shares a close bond with Rohit, was promoted from assistant to head coach at KKR. Nayar, known for mentoring young Indian talents, has worked personally with several players including Rohit, KL Rahul, and Dinesh Karthik. His rise at KKR sparked fan dreams of a possible reunion — dreams MI crushed within minutes.
Rohit Reaches No. 1 in ODI Rankings
Away from IPL headlines, Rohit Sharma achieved a monumental career milestone — rising to No. 1 in the ICC Men’s ODI batting rankings for the first time.
After scoring an unbeaten 121 in the third ODI against Australia in Sydney, the 38-year-old guided India to a dominant nine-wicket win. Having retired from Tests and T20Is, Rohit’s masterclass in the 50-over format once again showcased his enduring class and leadership.
