Hardik Pandya, the all-rounder, recently moved to the Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2024 mega auction. Priced at a staggering 15 crores, Pandya was not only welcomed back into the Mumbai colours but was also entrusted with the captaincy, a role previously dominated by the seasoned Rohit Sharma. This unexpected twist has stunned the fans and ignited fervent discussions among fans.
The IPL 2022 mega auction saw Hardik Pandya don the Gujarat Titans jersey for an impressive 15 crores. To everyone’s surprise, he was named captain and, in an extraordinary turn of events, led the team to a spectacular victory in the very first season. The Titans’ success continued into the second season, where they reached the final under Pandya’s leadership in IPL 2023. This remarkable feat undoubtedly added to Pandya’s cricketing stature.
As anticipation builds for IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians announced Hardik Pandya as their new captain, replacing Rohit Sharma. This decision has left fans in a state of disbelief and discontent, especially considering Rohit Sharma’s stellar track record as the most successful captain in IPL history, tied with MS Dhoni with five championships. The move also revealed that Sharma would now focus solely on his batting.
The announcement didn’t sit well with the Mumbai Indians’ fanbase and ardent supporters of Rohit Sharma. Social media platforms witnessed an immediate outpour of dissatisfaction, with fans expressing their displeasure over this unexpected shift in leadership. Many loyal supporters of the Mumbai Indians criticized the decision, questioning the wisdom of sidelining a captain with such an illustrious record.
The discontentment extended beyond the change in leadership. Fans were quick to criticise the Mumbai Indians for allegedly neglecting senior players like Surya Kumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, both of whom have shown unwavering loyalty to the team. The omission of these players from the captaincy role added fuel to the already burning fire of discontent among the Mumbai Indians faithful.
In the midst of this controversy, Jasprit Bumrah, the premier fast bowler for the Mumbai Indians, took to Instagram to share a reel, seemingly from an advertisement. Surprisingly, the comments section became a battleground for disgruntled fans, urging Bumrah to consider leaving the Mumbai Indians. This unexpected twist added another layer to the ongoing drama surrounding the team.
