Following Rohit Sharma’s abrupt removal as captain of the Mumbai Indians, the five-time champions of the Indian Premier League (IPL), have suffered a significant decline in their social media following.

The club lost more than 5 lakh Instagram followers as a result of the fans’ displeasure with Hardik Pandya’s choice to assume captaincy. This abrupt change in direction caused a surge of discontent among the team’s followers, many of whom vented their complaints on social media.

Rohit Sharma became the team’s face and led the Mumbai Indians to five IPL titles during his incredible captaincy from 2013 to 2023. In 158 games as the Mumbai Indians’ captain, Rohit led his side to victory with an incredible 56.33 percent winning percentage. His influence on the group was unparalleled.

Mahela Jayawardene, the global head of performance for the Mumbai Indians, meantime, commended Rohit Sharma for his exceptional leadership during the preceding ten years. Rohit’s involvement has largely made the Mumbai Indians one of the most successful and well-liked teams in IPL history, according to Jayawardene. He also praised Hardik Pandya for taking over as captain and emphasized the team’s commitment to being prepared for the future.

Hardik Pandya, who made his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians, has rejoined the team after serving as their captain of Gujarat Titans for two years. Pandya led the Titans to the IPL championship in their inaugural season, when they triumphed over Rajasthan Royals in the 2022 IPL final. Hardik Pandya was named player of the match after he amassed 34 runs and claimed three wickets in the final.

Pandya continued to perform brilliantly for the team in 2023, leading them to the IPL final before MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings defeated them in an exciting last-ball encounter.
