Leader Online Desk : This season of Indian Premier League (IPL) has started. As expected, everyone's attention was drawn to the match of Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The reason was the same. In this season, the leadership of this team has come to Hardik Pandya. Rohit's fans did not like this change from the beginning. Hence, when Rohit and Hardik took the field together against Gujarat Titans on Sunday, March 24, both were in the spotlight. Meanwhile, a video of this match is currently going viral on social media. Hardik Pandya is seen on the field giving orders to Rohit Sharma for fielding. This matter has not been digested by Rohit's fans. They are once again trolling Hardik.
Hardik giving order to Rohit was loved by the fans
Captain Hardik Pandya controlled the proceedings in his first match as the captain of Mumbai Indians. He was seen commanding former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. He sent Rohit to the boundary. Everyone was a bit surprised then. Because this time Rohit Sharma was standing inside the 30 yard circle. Rohit took position on the boundary line. After this Hardik ordered him to go a little to the right as per the instructions of the bowler Gerald Coetzee. The run that Rohit Sharma had to do in the last over was loved by his fans.
Wait, see you in T-20 World Cup…Hardik Pandya storm troll
As a captain, it is common for Hardik to use his best fielders in the right places. But Rohit Sharma's fans slammed Hardik Pandya on social media. He trolled up a storm. Because in this match, instead of giving the first over to Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik decided to bowl the first over himself. He gave 20 runs in just two overs. After this, Jasprit Bumrah was given the bowling. Bumrah took the wicket in his first over. Hardik was trolled by this too.
A storm of memes on Hardik Pandya has gone viral. One user wrote, 'Wait son, watching you in the T20 World Cup, running like that….'. One user said, 'Seeing Rohit being treated like this makes my blood boil.' Many comments in such hearty opposition started a frenzy on social media.
