The Mumbai Indians are preparing for the future without Rohit Sharma and have shown interest in bringing back Ishan Kishan from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for the upcoming IPL season. Despite approaching SRH, no deal has been finalized yet. Ishan was released by MI in 2024 and was picked up by SRH in the last auction. Mumbai signed Ryan Rickleton as a replacement, but bringing back Ishan would provide them with another overseas option. The move is seen as a step towards preparing for “life after Rohit”, who is nearing the end of his IPL career at 38. However, KKR and RR are also interested in Ishan and have approached SRH for a potential trade or cash deal. SRH is reluctant to release Ishan, but the decision ultimately lies with the player. The situation is currently at a standstill with no developments reported yet. The competition for Ishan’s signature is heating up as multiple teams vie for his services.
