Rohit’s meet-up with KKR coaches on Saturday added more drama to the transfer talks ahead of the next season.
Earlier, a now-deleted video of Rohit and Nayar posted by KKR spread like a wildfire on social media.
In the clip shared by the franchise, Rohit seemingly indicated that he hasn’t been happy with the way things have been going around in his current team this season.
The video was later deleted by KKR from its social media handles.
KKR on Saturday beat MI by 18 runs in a rain-shortened game to become the first team to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs.
MI, on the other hand, are already out of the playoffs race. They have 9 losses in 13 games under new captain Hardik.
