What was supposed to be Mumbai Indians’ season of revival has ended in a disaster. MI still have a match to go but they have no chance of making the playoffs. Their only goal is to escape a bottom-of-the-points table finish when they next face Lucknow Super Giants in their last IPL 2024 match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. MI need to beat LSG and then hope PBKS don’t win their last match. But they have bigger things to worry about than tackling LSG or praying for PBKS’ loss.
The differences between former captain Rohit Sharma and new captain Hardik Pandya have reached a stage that has given rise to clear camps in the MI dressing room. MI anyway faced the wrath of the fans for their decision to bring Hardik back from Gujarat Titans and then appoint him as captain a the start of the season, replacing Rohit – their most successful captain and the first to win five IPL titles.
Now, reports have emerged of an open divide between Rohit and Hardik. A report in Dainik Jagran claimed that the Indian players of MI are in favour of reinstating Rohit as captain while the overseas players have sided with Hardik. MI don’t have any big names as far as overseas recruits are concerned.
