WATCH: People shout ‘Mumbai Cha Raja Rohit Sharma’ in front of Hardik Pandya
The appointment of Hardik Pandya as the new Mumbai Indians captain has not gone well with the supporters of the team who have seen Rohit Sharma leading them to glory in the last 10 years. There has been a genuine hate against Hardik for him taking over the captaincy of MI. The hate has also been against the management that chose to name a new captain over a successful one.
Rohit Sharma has helped MI to win 5 trophies in 11 editions as the captain of the franchise, which is the best conversion rate for a captain in the history of the IPL. In 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020, MI won the IPL under the leadership of Sharma. But it seems as if MI had decided to move on from Rohit to hand over the captaincy to a new face.
Hardik has not been a pushover either as a captain. He helped GT to win the title in the IPL 2022 and nearly helped them to defend it again in 2023. If not for the finishing from Ravindra Jadeja, there was a good chance of him winning 2 trophies on a trot as a captain. He will now be leading MI in the IPL 2024 and most likely beyond it as well.
Outrage of fans against Hardik Pandya
Ever since Hardik was appointed as the captain of MI, the fans have expressed their outrage in their ways. Some of the fans burnt the jersey, cap, and flag of MI. Many others unfollowed the official account of the franchise on social media. In the latest incident, Hardik was found in Mumbai. People gave a rough welcome for Hardik with slogans of ‘Mumbai Cha Raja Rohit Sharma’.

Hardik was not happy with the reception he got. The Indian T20 captain was visibly angry at the slogans of the people. He gave a stare to the people and moved on from the spot. The former and current players of MI have given their mixed opinions on the decision of the management to appoint a new captain. Things would be interesting in the dressing room of MI in the IPL 2024.

Mohammad Rizwan Faces Backlash for Underwhelming Knock in Pakistan’s Loss to South Africa
Mohammad Rizwan has come under heavy fire for his performance during Pakistan’s loss to South Africa in a high-stakes match. Critics described his innings as lackluster, accusing him of playing a “shameless” and “criminal” knock that failed to meet the demands of the situation. His inability to accelerate scoring when required drew ire from fans and analysts alike, with many questioning his intent and decision-making under pressure.
While Rizwan’s cautious approach ensured some stability, it proved inadequate against South Africa’s aggressive game plan. His inability to shift gears in critical moments ultimately hurt Pakistan’s chances, and his performance sparked a broader debate about his role and strategy in the team’s batting order. Some commentators were particularly scathing, questioning how Rizwan could reflect on his effort given the circumstances.
The incident has added to the scrutiny of Pakistan’s overall performance in the tournament, with many demanding better strategies and execution from key players. Rizwan, regarded as a pivotal figure in the lineup, now faces the challenge of responding to the criticism and delivering under pressure in future matches.

This victory places the Yaks in a strong position for playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Lumbini Lions finally ended their winless run by defeating Chitwan Rhinos by 33 runs.

Both results have shaken up the league standings as the tournament heads toward a tense conclusion. With Karnali firming their playoff prospects and Lumbini gaining momentum, fans can expect high-intensity action in the upcoming matches.

Roberts critiqued Mohammed Siraj, stating he has yet to reach the same level as Bumrah and Shami.
