Rohit Sharma Bad News? Hitman's Emotional Post Leaves Mumbai Indians Fans in Tears

Mumbai: The future of Rohit Sharma with the Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise seems to be hanging by a thread. Just days before the official retention list announcement for IPL 2025, a cryptic social media activity by the Indian captain has sent shockwaves through the fanbase.

Rohit, who led MI to five IPL titles, posted a picture of himself waving to the crowd at Wankhede Stadium with a caption that read simply: "The journey has been special. Memories forever."

Is This The End of an Era?

Fans have interpreted this as a goodbye message. The relationship between Rohit and the MI management has reportedly been strained since Hardik Pandya was handed the captaincy last season. While nothing is official, sources close to the development suggest that Rohit might have requested to be released into the auction pool.

"Rohit Bad News" Trends on Twitter

Within minutes of the post, #RohitBadNews and #OneFamilyBroken started trending on X (formerly Twitter). Fans are heartbroken at the prospect of seeing the Hitman in any jersey other than Blue and Gold.

"If Rohit leaves, I leave. MI is nothing without him." - Fan reaction on Instagram.

Which Team Could Target Him?

If Rohit indeed enters the auction, expect a bidding war of epic proportions.

• Punjab Kings: Desperately need a captain and brand face.
• Delhi Capitals: A homecoming for the local Delhi boy?
