The Mumbai Indians captaincy change saga will reach the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, with Hardik Pandya taking over from Rohit Sharma. When the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared the schedule for the first half of the T20 league, fans began to anticipate how things would be when Hardik played in Ahmedabad as captain of the Mumbai Indians after his sensational move commercial. of Gujarat Titans. Even former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra made a cheeky comment on the matter, saying that he wants Hardik to be booed by the Ahmedabad crowd.
Much has been said and written about the Mumbai Indians captaincy change saga, and Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh also reacted strongly to coach Mark Boucher’s explanation of the scenario.
Hardik, since being named MI captain, is yet to speak publicly on the issue, regarding his replacement of Rohit Sharma. Some feel that even Ahmedabad fans are upset to see their captain Hardik leaving the franchise. Chopra hopes those fans will express his frustration on the field.
“I want Hardik Pandya to be booed in Ahmedabad. I’ll tell you why. First season of IPL, Mumbai vs Kolkata. We were playing at the Wankhede stadium. Ajit Agarkar was in our team and we had to take him off the edge because “He was the Mumbai boy, he was playing against Mumbai, in Mumbai and was booed by the Wankhede crowd. So we brought it back into the circle because it was not pleasant,” Chopra said on Jio Cinema when the BCCI announced the IPL 2024 schedule.
Chopra feels that it would be funny if fans decided to make fun of Hardik.
“Now Hardik Pandya is going to Mumbai after winning the championship once, taking the team to the final the next time. And not only that, but he decides to leave the franchise. If there is no heartburn in the Ahmedabad crowd, if no “I don’t feel hurt, where’s the fun?” I’m waiting for it. No, I hope, don’t tell anyone, that Hardik launches and people say ‘Boo’. That’s where the league matures,” the former India opener added.
