Rohit Sharma’s team includes Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma, whereas Ishan Kishan has thrown in his lot with the newly appointed Mumbai Indians captain, Hardik Pandya, and others.

Rift Between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya?

IPL 2024 didn’t kick off well for the Mumbai Indians, suffering losses in both of their opening matches. They fell short against the Gujarat Titans initially and then faced defeat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high-scoring clash.

Fans had plenty to discuss after both matches, especially with the tension apparent between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya. Reports of a rift between the two have been circulating ever since Pandya took over the captaincy from Sharma.
