IPL 2024: Rohit Sharma And Hardik Pandya Unfollow Each Other On Instagram

Ahead of the Indian Premier League 2024 edition, Mumbai Indians added all-rounder Hardik Pandya to its kitty and named him as a new captain. Since then all is not well between Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma. According to the reports, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya have unfollowed each other from social media platform Instagram.

It was shocking for fans as they expect a lot from these top cricketers who also represent the national side and share the same dressing room.

A day ago, Mumbai Indian coach and former South African cricket Mark Boucher said that team management only took the decision to name Hardik as captain as they wanted to cut some burden and pressure from Rohit Sharma's shoulders who also leads the Indian cricket team.

Boucher said, "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."

"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 had said during a podcast.

Earlier, after Mumbai Indians named Hardik Pandya as the new skipper for the upcoming IPL 2024, Rohit Sharma fans criticised the franchise, and fans in a massive number unfollowed MI on social media handles like Twitter and Instagram.

Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, who were really close friends once, have also unfollowed each other on Instagram, according to their Instagram pages.
