Mumbai, News Agency : IPL 2024 : Mumbai Indians' challenge in the Indian Premier League 2024 ended in the league round itself. Ever since Hardik Pandya was entrusted with the leadership at the beginning of the season, there was internal discontent among the fans and the team. It affected the team's performance and they had to fold. From time to time there were reports of disputes between Hardik and the senior players of the team. After the team's challenge ended, reports surfaced that the controversy had escalated. While Hardik came into the nets to bat in Kolkata, Rohit walked out along with Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma. Now the discussion has started on this too.
Mumbai Indians will play their last league match against Lucknow Super Giants on 17th. Mumbai have won 4 out of 13 matches and will be aiming to avoid the bottom spot by winning their last league match. But, even in the practice session, the dispute between Rohit and Hardik was clearly visible. When Hardik came to the nets for practice, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma took him out of the nets. Hardik and Rohit did not practice together.
This was before the match against KKR, where Mumbai lost. Rohit took his first batting practice in the nets and Hardik was not around then. But, when Hardik came into the nets to bat, Rohit walked out along with Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma. The action of these three is fueling the debate that the Mumbai Indians team has been divided into two factions. (IPL 2024)
After the defeat against KKR, Hardik had said that as a batting side, we tried to keep the base strong, but after that we couldn't capitalize on it and couldn't maintain the momentum. The pace of the bowlers was crucial because of the rain, but I thought the bowlers did a good job. (IPL 2024)
