The cricket world is buzzing, but Mumbai Indians fans can breathe easy! The five-time IPL champions have smashed the rumours about their star batsman and former captain Rohit Sharma moving to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). How? With a clever social media post that left fans laughing and assured everyone: Rohit’s not going anywhere! Since Rohit was removed as captain a couple of years ago, whispers about him moving teams have floated around. Yet, he has kept rocking the Mumbai colors under Hardik Pandya’s leadership. Mumbai Indians gave fans a fun twist on KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan's famous line from 'Don'. They wrote, "Sun will rise tomorrow again ye toh confirm hai, but at (K)night… मुश्किल ही नहीं, नामुमकिन है!" meaning, at night – it’s not just difficult, but impossible for Rohit to join KKR. Rohit is on fire! In IPL 2025, he scored 418 runs in 15 matches. His strike rate was a sizzling near 150, with an average close to 30. Rohit smashed four smooth half-centuries with a top score of 81. Even though Mumbai Indians had an uneven season, Rohit’s powerful batting was their rock. This message from MI came soon after KKR announced their new head coach Abhishek Nayar. Nayar, a former player, is known for his close training ties with Rohit Sharma and other top cricketers. This sparked the rumours. But clearly, MI made it clear Rohit is sticking with them for another IPL season. In a sparkling personal achievement, Rohit also secured the top spot in the ICC Men’s ODI batting rankings for the first time ever! At 38, he continues to shine bright in the 50-over game. His unbeaten 121 in the third ODI against Australia helped India win comfortably, pushing him two steps up the rankings. So Mumbai Indians fans – ready to cheer Rohit again in the next IPL? The legend stays put, ready to light up the crease once more!
