New Delhi, Oct 30
Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians have put an end to rumours suggesting a trade involving former captain Rohit Sharma to Kolkata Knight Riders, responding with a clever social media post that assured fans of the star opener’s continued association with the franchise.
Despite persistent speculation since his captaincy handover to Hardik Pandya, MI’s message made it clear that Rohit will remain a key part of their setup for another season.
MI put a spin on KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic 'Don' movie dialogue and wrote, "Sun will rise tomorrow again ye toh confirm hai, but at (K)night… mushkil hi nhi namumkin hai (it is not only difficult but impossible)"
The 43-year-old Nayar, a former India all-rounder with three ODI appearances, has earned widespread respect for mentoring several top cricketers, including Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Dinesh Karthik, besides grooming emerging talents like Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
