Shocking! Abhishek Nayar tried convincing Rohit Sharma to quit MI for KKR ahead of IPL 2026 auction ...Middle East

The Mumbai Indians have a compact list of cricketers whom they picked in the IPL 2025 mega-auction. MI finished as the second runners-up of the season by losing the Qualifier to the Punjab Kings.

Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif recently commented on the chances of the Mumbai Indians' former skipper, Rohit Sharma, being traded off to the Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of the IPL 2026 auction.

"Nayar would have asked Rohit if he wanted to join KKR.) According to me, Abhishek Nayar would have definitely asked Rohit if he wanted to join KKR. He must have asked, 100%. But Rohit, being Rohit, had a chance to go last time too, but he didn't. His family and kids are in Mumbai," said Mohammad Kaif during a live session.

Rohit Sharma joined the Mumbai-based side in 2011, and under his leadership, he became the first IPL captain to win five titles in the IPL. His captaincy stint ended after 13 years in 2024 with the arrival of Hardik Pandya.

"Here, everyone is like family to him, and he also has a connection with Reliance. If Akash Ambani or Reliance weren't involved, maybe he would have considered leaving the team," said Kaif in the same video.

Real motive behind MI's INR 4.6 crore deal on trades

MI made INR 20 lakh from the trade exchange of Arjun Tendulkar with LSG, still marking a deficit of INR 4.6 crore. The same amount will be deducted from their purse for the mini-auction. It is also to be noted which players might be released by the Mumbai Indians.
