Before the IPL 2026 season, discussions about retain and trade have intensified, and meanwhile big news spread on social media about former Team India captain Rohit Sharma. Many reports claimed that Rohit Sharma can be seen in the jersey of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the next season.
These news surprised the fans, but now Mumbai Indians themselves have reacted to this entire matter. Actually, amidst the rumors going on on social media, Mumbai Indians gave a clear message to everyone by tweeting.
Amidst the ongoing discussion regarding Rohit Sharma’s trade, Mumbai Indians dismissed these rumors by posting on social media. Giving a funny answer in his own style, the franchisee wrote, “It is confirmed that the sun will rise again, but the night (K)night is not only difficult, it is impossible.” That means it is clear that the news of trade regarding Rohit Sharma was just speculation.
From this tweet by Mumbai, it is believed that the franchise is in no mood to break relations with its most trusted player. Ever since Rohit Sharma joined Mumbai in 2011, he has remained an important face of this team. Before this he had played three seasons for Deccan Chargers.
How many trophies has Rohit Sharma won?
While being the captain of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma made his team the IPL champion five times, in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. Under his captaincy, Mumbai Indians showed consistency which very few teams have shown in IPL history. However, in 2024, the franchise took a big decision and made Hardik Pandya the new captain.
Rohit Sharma is one of the most successful batsmen of IPL. In the 272 matches played since 2008, he has scored 7046 runs with the help of two centuries and 42 half-centuries. That means, be it captaincy or batting, Rohit’s relationship with Mumbai Indians is still as strong, and at the moment, the ‘Knight’ story seems to be just a rumour.
