IPL 2024: We also checked Hardik’s profile and found that he too is not following Rohit in Instagram.
Delhi: Once Mumbai Indians coach Mark Boucher revealed why Rohit Sharma was removed as captain and Hardik Pandya was made the leader for the upcoming season of the IPL, there have been reactions pouring in from all quarters. But the one reaction that was blown out of proportion was Rohit’s wife Ritika Sajdeh’s comment on Boucher’s podcast. Ritika hinted that not all is right in the MI camp. This statement obviously drew strong reactions from fans and plaudits. Now, when we go to Rohit’s Instagram profile and look to search for Hardik, the latter does not appear. We also checked Hardik’s profile and found that he too is not following Rohit in Instagram.
“It’s just more of a cricketing decision that was made and I do think it is going to bring the best out of Rohit as a person as a player. Just let him go out and enjoy and score some good runs. He’s been captaining for ages and he’s done really well for Mumbai Indians. Now he also leads India as well. It is that he walks into a place and there’s just cameras in it and he’s so busy and he hasn’t had probably the best couple of seasons of late with the bat but he’s done well as a captain,” Boucher said on the podcast.
Meanwhile, Rohit led the side to a 106-run win over England in the second Test at Vizag on Monday to level the five-match series. The third Test in Rajkot starts from February 15.
