Former India skipper Rohit Sharma, currently enjoying a well-deserved break from the international circuit, has sent social media into a tailspin with a cryptic update.

The veteran opener shared a mysterious story on his Instagram, hinting at a major transition in his professional journey.

The post, which featured the text “New Role Incoming. Lead___of India. Stay Tuned!”, was accompanied by a promise of a "Big Reveal" scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

The blank space in "Lead___of India" has sparked a wave of theories among fans. Some speculate about a potential return to a leadership capacity or even a coaching mentorship, and seasoned observers point toward a major brand collaboration or a new ambassadorial role.

Notably, the story included the hashtag #collab, a classic indicator of a commercial partnership rather than a change in his cricketing status.

Whether it’s a new venture into the tech world or a high-profile national campaign, the "Hitman" certainly knows how to keep his fans on the edge of their seats.
