Mumbai Indians (MI) faced internal rift rumors after taking the field for the first time this IPL season under Hardik Pandya's leadership. Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah were seen criticizing Pandya's leadership skills behind his back. The heated moment reflected the alleged internal rift brewing within the MI camp since Pandya was appointed as captain off the franchise. Tensions ran high on the field as MI adjusted to these sudden changes in dynamics. The disrespect towards Rohit Sharma is shocking and unpleasant, leaving MI at a crossroads with these unnecessary controversies.
Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians skipper, gave orders to Rohit Sharma, five-time IPL title-winning skipper, during a conversation with Gerald Coetzee. Sharma wanted to set up his fielders, but Hardik told him to change his position, which Sharma was unprepared for. This incident raised eyebrows on the cricket field.
The MI captaincy change controversy continues to captivate the cricketing world, with the first game of IPL 2024 proving the ongoing debates. A video featuring MI debutant Luke Wood ignoring Rohit Sharma during his first over has led to accusations of his ignoring. However, this is a natural occurrence in cricket, where bowlers are encouraged by fielders. While social media may use the video to promote the controversy, there is little conclusive evidence to support it.
Jasprit Bumrah dismissed GT's Sai Sudharsan in MI's IPL 2024 opener, completing his three-wicket haul. Bumrah had a great start, dismissing Miller on his first delivery. Varma's catch on the third ball helped Sudharsan off the fence. Bumrah finished his spell with three for 14, bringing MI's total to 161 for six. Vijay Shankar batting on 3* at one end.
Gujarat Titans, led by new captain Shubman Gill, started well against Mumbai Indians. However, Mumbai's bowlers, led by Rohit Sharma, made a comeback in the 8th over. Gill's shot was dismissed by Piyush Chawla, allowing Mumbai to secure a crucial victory. Hardik Pandya, who took on the captaincy for the first time, demonstrated leadership qualities and determination. Mumbai's bowlers, including early bowling, maintained pressure on Gujarat, limiting their scoring opportunities.
Mumbai Indians (MI) failed to chase Gujarat Titans' score in their first match, and after the match, former captain Rohit Sharma and current skipper Hardik Pandya had a discussion. Rohit appeared unhappy, possibly giving advice to his successor. MI started well, chasing Gujarat's 168 with a quickfire 43 off 29 balls. However, Mumbai lost wickets at regular intervals, and in the final over, MI had to score 19 runs. Pandya hit the first one over the boundary and hit a four in the next ball, but with Mumbai needing just 9 runs in 4 balls, Hardik tried a big and got out. The video of Rohit and Pandya discussing their thoughts on the situation is currently circulating on social media.
Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell, two of the most beloved cricketers globally, almost collided in a subconscious mind during their first match in IPL 2024. In Match 6, RCB bowled first against Punjab Kings, and Jonny Bairstow fell cheaply. Bairstow charged against Mohammed Siraj, smashing back-to-back fours on the first two balls. However, he pulled his length back, allowing Bairstow to get a massive top edge. Kohli and Maxwell, placed at cover and mid-off respectively, looked at the ball instead of calling for the catch.
