[FACT CHECK] Did Jasprit Bumrah Take A Sly Dig At Hardik Pandya And Call Him A Snake?

Rohit SarkarBy Rohit Sarkar15/12/2023No Comments3 Mins Read

In a surprising turn of events on the very last day of the IPL 2024 trade window, Hardik Pandya found himself back in the iconic blue jersey of the Mumbai Indians. This move marked a significant shift from his previous stint with the Gujarat Titans, where he was not only a marquee player but also the captain, having led the team to an IPL victory in its inaugural season and a final appearance in the following year.

Hardik Pandya’s journey in the IPL has been nothing short of extraordinary. Having been acquired by the Gujarat Titans for a staggering 15 crores ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction from Mumbai, Pandya not only justified the hefty price tag but also proved his leadership potential by clinching the title in the very first season. However, as fate would have it, the all-rounder found himself back in Mumbai, the city where he initially rose to prominence.

The decision to appoint Hardik Pandya as the captain of the Mumbai Indians for the upcoming IPL 2024 has stunned the MI fans. This move comes at the expense of the seasoned campaigner Rohit Sharma, who, at 36, is one of the most successful captains in IPL history alongside MS Dhoni, boasting five championships. However, in a strategic shift, Sharma will now focus solely on his batting skills, relinquishing the captaincy to Pandya.

As news of Rohit Sharma’s shift from captaincy broke, social media platforms were ablaze with reactions from fans. While some welcomed the change, expressing excitement at the prospect of Pandya leading the team, others voiced their discontent, citing dissatisfaction with the treatment meted out to Sharma.

Amidst the captaincy drama, the focus now shifts to the upcoming IPL 2024 auction scheduled to be held in Dubai on December 19. The Mumbai Indians, despite the controversy surrounding their leadership choices, are gearing up for the bidding war as they seek to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.

The Mumbai Indians fanbase, renowned for its passion and loyalty, has not decided to replace Rohit Sharma lightly. Expressing disappointment and a sense of betrayal, some fans have resorted to trolling the team on various social media platforms. The emotions are evident as supporters grapple with the departure of their cherished captain.

Another twist in the tale comes with the notable absence of Jasprit Bumrah from the captaincy discussion. The seasoned pacer, who has been a stalwart for the Mumbai Indians since his introduction to the IPL, was overlooked for the leadership role, much to the dismay of his ardent fans.

[FACT CHECK] Did Jasprit Bumrah Take A Sly Dig At Hardik Pandya And Call Him A Snake?

In the wake of the captaincy announcement, an image circulated on social media allegedly depicting Jasprit Bumrah taking an indirect dig at Hardik Pandya. The image featured a quote: “No matter how many times a snake sheds its skin, it will always be a snake. Remember that before allowing people back into your life.” However, upon fact-checking, it was revealed that this post was entirely false, and Bumrah had not made any such statement.
