The Truth: These Offers Are 100% FAKE
Here’s where the rumors crumble. As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding any such offer from the Mumbai Indians or Nita Ambani to Sooryavanshi, and no credible sources have verified these claims.
Even more telling: Former IPL chairman Lalit Modi rejected these rumors completely, clearly stating that IPL player transfers cannot happen through private offers or unofficial deals.
The rumor mill ran wild claiming that Rajasthan Royals “stepped in” to retain him after he asked for time. Total fiction.
Why Do These Rumors Spread?
When a teenage sensation starts breaking records, social media goes haywire. According to Cricket industry transfer protocols on Wikipedia, IPL player acquisitions follow strict auction and bidding rules—not personal offers from owners, regardless of how wealthy they are.
