The conversation surrounding Hardik Pandya replacing Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians skipper ahead of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has been dominating headlines for quite some time.
Pandya completed a sensational trade to MI following two successful years with Gujarat Titans and his appointment as the skipper ended Rohit’s ten-year tenure at the helm of the franchise.
Recently, MI coach Mark Boucher offered an explanation regarding the move but it was met with a lot of criticism including a reaction from Rohit’s wife Ritika Sajdeh. Just days after the incident, the internet was once again abuzz with reports claiming that the two cricketers have now unfollowed each other on Instagram.
However, the authenticity of the rumours were not confirmed and the social media users provided multiple perspectives. While there were some who wrote that the duo never followed each other on Instagram, there were some who said that it was Hardik who stopped following Rohit and not the other way round.
