Back with the Mumbai Indians after the much-talked-about captaincy change drama, Rohit Sharma hit the nets ahead of the start of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Rohit’s dismissal as captain of the franchise caused a stir among fans, with many criticizing the decision taken by the management to hand over the captaincy to Hardik Pandya. When Rohit joined his teammates in Mumbai, some of the team’s young stars shared Instagram stories, highlighting his admiration for the Hitman.
The Instagram stories created quite a stir on social media, and rumors about Rohit’s leadership intensified. Here are some of the posts that fans shared on social media, allegedly from some Mumbai Indians players:

Rohit looked very good in the MI training session. On the official social media account, the franchise shared a glimpse of his offensive playing style from the net sessions, which he often displays during a match against his opponents.
The 36-year-old on Monday joined the MI training camp ahead of the upcoming IPL 2024 season. The Mumbai-based franchise took to its official X account (formerly Twitter) and shared a clip of the former MI captain joining the equipment.
In November last year, Pandya returned from Gujarat Titans (GT) to his former franchise as part of a trade between both franchises. The star all-rounder spent two years with GT, spearheading their campaign in the cash-rich league with aplomb. In GT’s debut season in 2022, Hardik gave them a fairytale start, with the team lifting the coveted trophy.
The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will begin on March 22, with defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in a South Indian derby at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
