It's interesting to note that Rohit was initially regarded as an expensive signing by the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned team. "Whoa! That is an unexpectedly high cost! On the day of the auction, KKR had posted, "@mipaltan buy Rohit Sharma for 2 million dollars!" While KKR questioned MI's outrageous acquisition, Rohit led Mumbai to multiple IPL titles after MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) declined to bid for him. CSK tweeted prior to the auction that the Yellow Brigade would not place a bid for the Indian batter.
