Hardik Pandya's reinstatement as skipper for the Mumbai Indians has not unfolded as anticipated, both for him personally and for the franchise. 

Since assuming the captaincy from Rohit Sharma, the 30-year-old has faced severe backlash from fans. With the team's back-to-back losses in the opening matches, Pandya finds himself under renewed scrutiny, particularly for certain on-field decisions during their recent clash against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). 

Additionally, there are indications that Lasith Malinga may harbor reservations towards Pandya's leadership.

Recent videos from the Mumbai Indians' camp have added fuel to the fire, hinting at underlying tensions within the team. One viral clip captures the abrupt departure of Lasith Malinga as Pandya approaches batting coach Kieron Pollard for a discussion, raising questions about the harmony within the MI setup. 

This footage has raised eyebrows and sparked concerns about potential rifts within the MI setup.

Is harmony prevailing within the MI setup? This viral video is causing quite a stir and raising numerous questions. While Pandya has been facing criticism off the field, indications of internal discord are also surfacing. Earlier, speculation about Pandya's relationship with Rohit sparked pre-season drama.

Although no official statements have addressed these rumours, they gained further traction during MI's season opener against the Gujarat Titans (GT). 

A notable incident during the match grabbed attention when Jasprit Bumrah and Pandya engaged in an intense discussion, only for Pandya to abruptly walk away upon Rohit's arrival. Bumrah's surprised reaction hinted at potential tension brewing within the team. Even Bumrah appeared displeased with Pandya's conduct on the field.

With Pandya already facing backlash, the situation could escalate further if the team's performance doesn't improve in the upcoming games under his leadership.
