Hardik Pandya is set to captain the Mumbai Indians in the upcoming Indian Premier League 2024. However, reports on December 16 revealed that the Delhi Capitals approached Mumbai Indians to trade for Rohit Sharma.
The reason behind this move, as per a report by CricTracker citing Sports Today, is that Delhi Capitals are in search of a senior player to lead their team in the next season. This is because their regular captain, Rishabh Pant, was supposed to play as an Impact Player. Despite Mumbai Indians turning down the offer, Pant will now lead the squad, which is making a comeback after a severe car accident.
In November, Mumbai Indians made a trade with Royal Challengers Bangalore, sending their allrounder Cameron Green. This move boosted Mumbai Indians’ budget by ₹17.50 crore. With this extra money, they were able to bring back Hardik Pandya into their team from Gujarat Titans.
How MI loses Fan Followers After Removing Rohit From Captain?
After Mumbai Indians revealed that Hardik Pandya would be the captain for IPL 2024, the team has seen a decline in followers. Many fans are expressing their disappointment on social media platforms like X and Instagram, with a surge of reactions supporting Rohit Sharma.
These supporters argue that Mumbai Indians wouldn’t be the same without Rohit Sharma. The announcement has stirred strong sentiments among the fan base, leading to a notable shift in support.
