LSG vs MI: Hardik Pandya Ignores Rohit Sharma After Dropping Him from Playing XI, Video Goes Viral
Hardik Pandya seemed to ignore Rohit Sharma during the match, and the moment quickly went viral on social media.

The 16th match of IPL 2025 is being played between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium, Lucknow.
Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl first. Lucknow Super Giants made full use of the chance and scored 202 runs in their innings. Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram both scored half-centuries to help their team reach the big total.
During the first innings break, an interesting moment took place on the field. Rohit Sharma, who is not playing this match due to a knee injury, was seen walking onto the ground during the strategic timeout. Usually, players and staff come out at that time to share plans with the team.
However, what caught the fans’ attention was something strange. As Rohit Sharma came near the team huddle, Hardik Pandya was also present there. But Pandya seemed to ignore Rohit completely. The two did not speak, nor did they make eye contact.
This small moment was enough for fans to start talking. Videos and pictures from the ground started going viral on social media. Many fans feel that there may be a rift between the two star players. Some said it was just a misunderstanding, while others feel it could be something serious.
The talk about a possible clash between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya has been going on since Pandya was made the captain of Mumbai Indians before IPL 2025. Rohit had led the team to five IPL titles, and many fans still see him as the true leader.
Now with moments like these being captured on camera, the rumours of a rift have started once again. Whether it’s true or not, only time will tell. But for now, the fans are talking more about this off-field moment than the match itself.
