Rohit Sharma is making his debut as a television host with ‘Family Full House with Rohit Sharma.’ In the show’s promotional clip, he hints at his IPL future. During the episode, Abhishek Nayar, the head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and former India assistant coach, playfully chants ‘CSK, CSK’ at Rohit, suggesting he should wear a yellow dress. Nayar then jokingly mentions that Rohit would look good in KKR’s colors of purple and gold, raising questions about his potential transfer to the franchise.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) assistant coach Abhishek Nayar stated that star India batter Rohit Sharma would look good in purple and gold, to which the latter had just one response.
However, Rohit’s response in the show suggests that his heart is still set on the franchise. On the other hand, Abhishek Nayar and KKR are in the hunt for a new captain after two disappointing seasons of their own. Mumbai Indians’ tumultuous seasons in the recent past – they finished rock-bottom in IPL 2022 and 2024 and ninth in 2026 – has put scrutiny over the futures of the team’s senior players, particularly Rohit, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav. Ajinkya Rahane, their captain in 2025 and 2026, announced his retirement recently.
