A recently surfaced video on social media depicted Rohit Sharma, captain of the Mumbai Indians, engrossed in a serious discussion with Abhishek Nayar, the assistant coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders, prior to their upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) match. Despite the background noise, the conversation was deciphered by fans, focusing on phrases like ‘things changing’ and Rohit mentioning “it’s his last”.
While the exact context of their discussion remains elusive, speculation arose among fans, suggesting it might pertain to recent changes within the Mumbai Indians squad, particularly the appointment of Hardik Pandya as the new skipper. The video’s emergence prompted the Kolkata Knight Riders to delete it from their social media platforms, attempting to contain the situation. However, the damage had already been done, with fans having seen the footage and engaged in speculative discourse about its implications.
“Ek ek cheez change ho raha hai…Woh unke upar hai…Jo bhi hai woh mera ghar hai bhai, woh temple jo hai na maine banwaya hai(Everything is changing one by one… It’s on them… Whatever, but it’s my home brother, it’s the temple that I constructed).” The last line that could be heard in the video was: “Bhai mera kya mera to ye last hai (brother, this is my last anyway)”.

Senior Players Unhappy with Hardik Pandya’s Captaincy Style
Recently, a report surfaced indicating dissatisfaction among several senior players within the Mumbai Indians team regarding Hardik Pandya’s captaincy. Allegedly, these seasoned players expressed discontent with Hardik’s leadership style, suggesting it fails to ignite the desired ‘buzz’ within the MI dressing room.
The Mumbai Indians management had previously appointed Hardik as captain before the commencement of the season, envisioning that the talented Indian all-rounder would replicate his successful leadership at the Gujarat Titans over the past seasons. However, the team’s performance has not met expectations since the start of the campaign.
The Mumbai Indians franchise had high hopes that Hardik Pandya’s captaincy would guide the team to victory, akin to his achievements with the Gujarat Titans in recent seasons.
Nonetheless, the team’s senior members reportedly harbour reservations about Hardik’s approach, which they feel lacks the dynamic energy required to galvanize the dressing room atmosphere. Despite the management’s optimistic anticipation surrounding Hardik’s leadership, the team has faced challenges.
The setbacks that they have in their performance throughout the season. In this season’s campaign, the Mumbai Indians were the inaugural team to be eliminated from contention for the playoffs, currently holding the 9th position out of 10 teams in the points table.
Their performance has been lacklustre, securing only four victories out of 12 matches thus far. The team has struggled to find cohesion, and Hardik Pandya’s leadership abilities have faced scrutiny on numerous occasions.
