Akash Ambani, co-owner of the MI franchise, was seen with former Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma outside Wankhede Stadium before their IPL 2024 match against RCB.
A video went viral on social media showing Akash Ambani, who co-owns Mumbai Indians (MI), and Rohit Sharma, the team’s former captain, together. Rohit was seen sitting in the front seat of Ambani’s Bentley Bentayga SUV outside the Wankhede Stadium.

Amidst a season of transformation for the Mumbai Indians, the management made a surprising move earlier this year by replacing Rohit Sharma as captain. Hardik Pandya was named the new captain of Mumbai Indians.
The decision sparked debate among fans, who questioned the logic of replacing Rohit, a successful captain who led MI to five IPL titles. While the details of the conversation in the video are unclear, it has stirred speculation online.

How has Rohit fared in IPL 2024 so far?
In IPL 2024, Rohit Sharma’s performance reflects a mixed bag. Relieved of captaincy responsibilities, he’s been aggressive in the powerplay, boasting a strike rate of 171.01. Yet, he’s yet to notch a half-century, accumulating 118 runs across four matches. While his attacking approach is evident, converting these starts into substantial innings is vital for both Rohit and Mumbai’s fortunes.
Rohit Sharma will be next seen in action when Mumbai Indians will lock horns against Royal Challengers Bangalore on 12th April 2024.
