There is no doubt that the Mumbai Indians are one of the most popular franchise teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The team has won 5 IPL titles and are one of the most successful teams in the league. The club has been filled with some big stars like Sachin Tendulkar, Kieron Pollard, Lasith Malinga and Jasprit Bumrah. With 5 IPL titles and 2 Champions League to their name. Looking at their rich history it is not surprising to why they have one of the biggest fanbases in the league.
The best captain in The Mumbai Indians set-up is none other than the hitman himself known as Rohit Sharma. Rohit has not only been one of the top scorers for the team but also emerged as one of the best skippers as well. Rohit has been part of every trophy the Mumbai franchise has won. However, the team has announced Hardik Pandya as the new captain of the Mumbai Indians which has not gelled well with the fans.
Rohit’s wife does it again
Rohit Sharma’s wife had previously been involved in the controversy after giving a controversial reply to Mumbai Indians coach Mark Boucher. Boucher had said that the reason for this change is the cricketing decision to give the team a transitional phase. Ritika already commented on this situation on social media saying there is more to this story. This just got the fans even more riled up going forward. Ritika had apologized but entered the decision once again after reacting to a video of Mark Boucher regarding the decision with a teary-eyed emoji.
This reaction has fuelled the war regarding the replacement once again. The fans were already disappointed with the decision, but Ritika’s reaction to the situation has again caused a lot of drama. This situation has once again gone from bad to worse in a matter of just one reaction. The MI fans will hope that all this will not affect the teams' performance in the upcoming season and will want to see the team lift the trophy once again.
