The fans of Rohit Sharma have continued to speak up against the Mumbai Indians ownership and management for the 36-year-old being replaced by Hardik Pandya as their skipper for the IPL 2024 season.
Only 20 days after Hardik Pandya was traded back to MI from the Gujarat Titans, Pandya was announced as the new skipper of the franchise. This decision made it clear that Pandya must have put a pre-condition of getting the MI captaincy immediately to trade back to MI after spending two successful years at GT.
The fans of Rohit Sharma are angry and furious at MI for replacing Rohit so unceremoniously. In his 10 years at the MI captain from 2013 to 2022, Rohit led MI to 5 IPL title wins and 1 Champions League trophy. However, MI have failed to reach the final in the last three IPL seasons, and in the meantime, CSK, their biggest rival, won two IPL trophies and equaled their tally of 5 IPL titles.
A Rohit Sharma fan hilariously roasted Jio Care on Twitter.
Jio is the company owned by the Mumbai Indians’ owners, the Ambanis. Initially, this fan, with Twitter handle @45Quantum, made an innocent query tagging Jio Care.
He tweeted: “Hello @JioCare no network in my sim”
Jio Care replied: “Hi there! 🌞 Your satisfaction is paramount. Please DM your Jio number and alternate contact number for focused assistance. We’re listening! 💬 – Sumeet”
Then this fan trolled MI and Jio saying he was searching for MI’s IPL trophy without Rohit Sharma!
He replied: “Sorry I was searching for Mumbai indians trophy without Rohit Sharma.
It showed no results ,hence I thought no network.”

Meanwhile, Rohit is currently preparing to captain India in a 2-Test series in South Africa. India are aiming to win their maiden Test series in South Africa, who are likely to be without Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje.
