Despite persistent speculation since his captaincy handover to Hardik Pandya, MI\u2019s message made it clear that Rohit will remain a key part of their setup for another season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
MI put a spin on KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s iconic 'Don' movie dialogue and wrote, \"Sun will rise tomorrow again ye toh confirm hai, but at (K)night\u2026 mushkil hi nhi namumkin hai (it is not only difficult but impossible)\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohit enjoyed a solid outing in IPL 2025, scoring 418 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate close to 150 and an average of around 30. His four half-centuries, including a fluent 81, underlined his trademark timing and composure at the top. Though MI had an up-and-down campaign, Rohit\u2019s brisk starts were instrumental, reaffirming his enduring value in the league.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Interestingly, MI\u2019s post came soon after KKR announced Abhishek Nayar as their new head coach. Nayar\u2019s promotion from assistant coach reignited talk of a potential Rohit-KKR link, given the strong bond between the two - the veteran opener often trains under Nayar during his off time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Meanwhile, Rohit added another feather to his illustrious career by rising to No. 1 in the ICC Men\u2019s ODI batting rankings for the first time. The 38-year-old, who has retired from Tests and T20Is, climbed two spots following his match-winning unbeaten 121 against Australia in Sydney - a knock that sealed India\u2019s emphatic nine-wicket win and showcased the veteran\u2019s vintage class.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
