Mumbai Indians have started their campaign in IPL 2024 with a defeat. Gujarat Titans defeated Mumbai Indians by 6 runs in the IPL match played on Sunday. In this match, Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma are being discussed more than Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians.
Hardik Pandya was booed fiercely during the match at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Apart from this, some of Hardik Pandya’s decisions on the field as captain were also surprising.
Discussion Regarding Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma
Mumbai Indians had made Hardik Pandya the new captain by replacing Rohit Sharma before IPL 2024. Hardik Pandya also imposed captaincy authority on Rohit Sharma on the field during the match on Sunday.
However, the defeat of Mumbai Indians in this match against Gujarat Titans cooled down the enthusiasm of Hardik Pandya. When Hardik Pandya goes to hug Rohit Sharma after the end of the match, the ‘Hitman’ beats him violently. Rohit Sharma scolds Hardik Pandya in the middle of the field.
Got Angry After The Match
A video goes viral on social media in which Hardik Pandya comes from behind and hugs Rohit Sharma. After this, Rohit Sharma turns back and starts scolding Hardik Pandya funnily. Rohit Sharma is believed to be giving Hardik Pandya a class on the mistakes made during the match. During this time, Rashid Khan and Akash Ambani, standing nearby, also started looking at these two. The video of this incident is becoming increasingly viral on social media.
Hardik Pandya’s Team Lost
Jasprit Bumrah took three wickets for 14 runs in four overs, with the help of which Mumbai Indians restricted Gujarat to 168 runs for six wickets. However, the batters did not support Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliant performance.
Tilak Verma and new captain Hardik Pandya failed, and Mumbai Indians could only score 162 runs for nine wickets. He needed 43 runs in the last five overs and had seven wickets left. Experienced Mohit Sharma changed the match’s fate by taking two wickets for 32 runs.
Spencer Johnson took two wickets for 25 runs, and Umesh Yadav took two wickets each for 32 runs. Spencer Johnson bowled well in the 19th over, and Umesh bowled well in the last over. Mumbai captain Hardik came to bat at number seven, which is beyond comprehension. He hit a six and a four in the last over, but Umesh dismissed him and decided Mumbai’s defeat. Rohit Sharma scored 43 runs in 29 balls earlier, and Dewald Brevis scored 46 in 38.
