Just days after a private conversation between Rohit Sharma and Abhishek Nayar was leaked online, the Mumbai Indians legend found himself in a lighter situation. During his team’s last game of the season against the Lucknow Super Giants, Rohit was filmed having a casual chat with friends at the Wankhede Stadium. This seemingly harmless interaction, however, took a humorous turn when Rohit noticed a cameraman filming them.
Leaked Chat Sparks Social Media Firestorm
Earlier in the week, the official account of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) accidentally leaked a video snippet featuring Rohit Sharma in conversation with their assistant coach, Abhishek Nayar. The brief clip, captured at the Eden Gardens before the KKR vs MI clash, sent social media into a frenzy.
While the audio wasn’t entirely clear due to crowd noise, fans speculated that Rohit was making critical comments regarding his future with the Mumbai Indians. The franchise quickly deleted the video, but the damage was already done, with fans dissecting every possible meaning behind Rohit’s words.
Rohit Cautiously Avoids Repeating the Incident
Aware of the social media storm his leaked conversation caused, Rohit seemed cautious during his chat with friends at the Wankhede. Keen to avoid a repeat of the earlier incident, Rohit swiftly pointed towards the cameraman and requested that the audio be switched off. A clip featuring this exchange, broadcasted by Star Sports, has itself gone viral. In the video, Rohit can be heard saying in Hindi, “Bhai yaar, audio band kar Bhai, ek audio ne to mera waat laga diya hain (please mute the audio, one audio clip already got me in trouble).”
Following the leak, the Kolkata Knight Riders CEO, Venky Mysore, attempted to quell the speculation surrounding Rohit’s comments. Mysore stated that he had spoken to both Rohit and Abhishek, and the conversation was taken out of context. He maintained that their chat revolved around their mutual respect for each other and had nothing to do with Rohit’s future at the Mumbai Indians.
While the exact content of Rohit’s leaked conversation with Abhishek Nayar remains unclear, the incident highlights the ever-scrutinized lives of cricket stars in the age of social media. Even a seemingly casual chat can be misinterpreted and blown out of proportion, prompting both amusement and frustration for the players involved.
