IPL 2026: Rohit Sharma is easily one of the best players to have featured in the Indian Premier League.

‘Sun will rise tomorrow again'

The MI franchise took to their official Instagram handle and responded to it. Their response is extremely cryptic and not much can be made of it. The post read: ‘Sun will rise tomorrow again yeh toh confirm hai but at (K)night.' While it is cryptic, it is being understood that Rohit is in all possibility not going anywhere and will continue at MI. 

Meanwhile, Abhishek Nayar, someone who is close to Rohit, has been appointed as the head coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise. One feels the rumour sparked from there. 

For the unversed, Nayar has replaced Chandrakant Pandit as the coach. Pandit parted ways with the franchise earlier in the year. He served as the head coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders for three seasons. Pandit was the coach when KKR won the title for the third time in 2024.
