Rohit Sharma Fans Remove Hardik Pandya Poster at Mumbai College

Hardik Pandya back to competitive cricket at the DY Patil T20 tournament leading Reliance 1

Following Hardik Pandya‘s appointment as captain of the Mumbai Indians, there has been a surge of disappointment and frustration among Rohit Sharma’s fanbase.

In a disappointing act, Rohit Sharma’s fans forced the authorities to remove Hardik Pandya’s poster from Mukesh Patel college in Mumbai.

The renowned all-rounder was acquired from Gujarat Titans by the five-time champions before the IPL 2024 auction in a monetary trade and later appointed as the new captain, replacing Rohit Sharma.

However, Rohit Sharma’s fans are disappointed by this decision, considering his successful captaincy in leading Mumbai Indians to 5 IPL titles. They had hoped for a fitting farewell for Rohit before he was stripped of his captaincy.

Hardik sustained an ankle injury during the ODI World Cup 2023, sidelining him from international fixtures since. However, he resumed competitive cricket on Monday, February 26, at the DY Patil T20 Cup in Mumbai.

Hardik clinched two wickets, giving away 22 runs in three overs. Batting at No.10, he stayed unbeaten on 3 runs off four balls as his team, Reliance 1, triumphed over Bharat Petroleum Corporation by two wickets.
