Suryakumar Yadav's Cryptic Post After Rohit Sharma's Removal as Mumbai Indians Captain
On Friday, the Mumbai Indians, the franchise of the Indian Premier League, sprang a surprise by naming Hardik Pandya as their captain for the Indian Premier League 2024 in place of Rohit Sharma. There were speculations about Rohit Sharma losing the MI captaincy from the time Hardik Pandya was brought back from the Gujarat Titans. Last month, Hardik made a return to the franchise following a high-profile trade from the Gujarat Titans, whom he led in the past two seasons. After announcing the news of the captaincy change, MI posted a heartfelt post on social media for Rohit.
MI on X wrote that, "Ro, In 2013, you took over as captain of MI. You asked us to believe. In victories and defeats, you asked us to smile. 10 years and 6 trophies later, here we are. Our forever captain, your legacy will be etched in blue and gold. Thank you, Captain RO.”
On Saturday, Mumbai Indians' prominent member Suryakumar Yadav posted a heartbreak emoji on X, which went viral as many social media users related to the captaincy change at the IPL franchise.
One of the users wrote, “No one can replace him in Mi team captaincy,” whereas another one wrote, “Mumbai Indians Be Ready. Your downfall is just on the way.”
