Reports suggest that Rohit Sharma, the former captain of the Mumbai Indians, is dissatisfied with Hardik Pandya’s leadership during the IPL 2024 season. Sharma, who led the team to five trophies over a decade, is rumored to be departing from the Mumbai Indians after the current season concludes. This shift in leadership occurred as Pandya took over the captaincy from Sharma before the IPL 2024, transitioning from his previous role as the skipper of the Gujarat Titans.
Pandya’s appointment drew attention from fans, particularly as he replaced the longstanding captain of Mumbai. However, despite the anticipation surrounding Pandya’s leadership, the team has faced challenges, failing to secure victories under his captaincy. Criticism from fans has intensified, impacting Pandya’s performance and creating a tense atmosphere within the Mumbai Indians’ camp during the IPL 2024 matches.
Sources from within the team, as reported by News 24, reveal Sharma’s discontentment with Pandya’s captaincy, which has led to division within the dressing room. Sharma has reportedly expressed his intention to part ways with the Mumbai Indians due to these disagreements. The tense atmosphere has escalated to the point of arguments among players, further deteriorating the team’s morale and unity.
Adding to the team’s woes, the Mumbai Indians have experienced a string of defeats in the ongoing tournament, losing all their matches thus far. Their disappointing performance includes losses to Gujarat, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals, further highlighting the challenges faced under Pandya’s leadership.
