Following Mumbai Indians’ (MI) dominant eight-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on March 31, the post-match exchange between Rohit Sharma and MI owner Nita Ambani has generated significant buzz across social media.
The viral post-match conversation with Nita Ambani
While MI’s crushing win overshadowed most other events, it was the intense conversation between the two that sparked widespread speculation about the future of the veteran cricketer in the IPL. The video of the exchange quickly went viral, with the MI owner seen listening intently to the skipper, nodding along as the two discussed something in earnest. While the exact nature of their conversation remains unclear, the speculation surrounding it has been intense. Given Rohit’s poor form and the fact that MI management must be looking for solutions to turn their campaign around, many are wondering if this chat had anything to do with Rohit’s batting struggles and his future role within the team.

Could this chat signal the end of Rohit Sharma’s IPL career?
Despite the dominant performance from MI, Rohit’s ongoing struggles with the bat continued to raise concerns. He was dismissed for a low score of just 13 runs, adding to a disappointing tally of 21 runs in three matches of the 2025 season. Rohit has yet to show any signs of returning to form, with scores of 0, 8, and 13 from his recent outings.
The six-time IPL winner has endured a prolonged dip in batting form, with his performances in the tournament falling below expectations. Despite his stature as one of MI’ most decorated players, Rohit has managed to cross the 400-run mark in just two IPL seasons since 2020. His struggles with consistency have been evident, as his overall IPL average has dropped to 29.42. The decline is further reflected in his recent outings, where he has accumulated just over 140 runs in his last 10 matches, highlighting the challenges he has faced with the bat.
Rohit’s stature within the franchise cannot be overstated. As a five-time IPL champion captain, his leadership and contribution to the team’s success over the years have been invaluable. However, with his recent batting form continuing to decline, many are now questioning whether his time at the IPL is coming to a close.
