Mumbai Indians IPL 2024: Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya Instagram Unfollow Rumors Spark Controversy

Mumbai Indians (MI) are gearing up for success in the IPL 2024, but even before the tournament begins, the team finds itself entangled in a fresh controversy. Following Hardik Pandya’s return to MI through a player trade from the Gujarat Titans and being appointed as the team’s captain, rumors have surfaced regarding his relationship with Rohit Sharma, the former skipper of the franchise.

According to speculations on social media, it appears that Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya have unfollowed each other on Instagram. While it’s uncertain whether they were following each other previously or if the unfollowing occurred recently, fans are abuzz with speculation about the rift between the two players.

The veracity of these rumors has not been confirmed, but they add to the intrigue surrounding the team ahead of the IPL 2024 season. Hardik Pandya had an impressive stint with the Gujarat Titans, leading them to victory in their inaugural season and securing a commendable second-place finish in the subsequent year.

The decision to replace Rohit Sharma as captain was explained by Mark Boucher, the head coach of MI, in an interview with SmashSports. Boucher emphasized that it was a cricketing decision aimed at allowing Rohit Sharma to focus on his performance as a player without the added pressure of captaincy.

However, Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, expressed disagreement with Boucher’s explanation in the comments section of the SmashSports podcast, suggesting that there may be more to the situation than meets the eye.
