Here’s how Rohit Sharma fans slammed and trolled Mumbai Indians on their birthday post for Ritika Sajdeh:
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.
MI Direcotr of cricket Mahela Jayawardene has explained that MI appointed Hardk as their skipper in view of the future, with Rohit being 36 years old now.
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.
