In a significant turn of events, Mumbai Indians have named the returning Hardik Pandya as their captain for the upcoming IPL 2024 season, succeeding Rohit Sharma's decade-long leadership.
Hardik, who steered Gujarat Titans to IPL title in 2022, has returned to MI and is set to step into the captain's role, succeeding the joint-most successful captain in history of the Indian Premier League.
In order to execute the trade, Mumbai Indians, which didn’t have the purse to afford Pandya’s league fee of Rs 15 crore, opted to release several players and engaged in a cash transaction by trading Cameron Green to Royal Challengers Bangalore for INR 17.50 crore.
This unexpected turn of events has sent ripples through the cricketing community and beyond, stirring reactions from fans worldwide. While some express joy over the decision, a significant fraction remains deeply disappointed with Mumbai Indians' choice.
Let’s take a look at some of the reactions:
