The Truth Behind Viral 'Rumour' on Social Media: Should Sachin Tendulkar Quit Mumbai Indians or Not?
The franchise of the Indian Premier League Mumbai Indians finds itself high on the trending charts on social media platform X even since the 'captaincy change' in the franchise was announced. Since Hardik Pandya replaced Rohit Sharma as the skipper for the IPL 2024 season, plenty has been said and written about the said leadership change. While many remain unhappy with the franchise over this change, there are those too who are spreading varied rumours. One such rumour that spread like wildfire on social media was Sachin Tendulkar quitting Mumbai Indians.
Tendulkar, who has been working as a mentor for the Mumbai Indians on a part-time basis, was said to have quit the franchise after Rohit was replaced by Hardik as skipper. However, that doesn't seem to be the truth.
On the website of the Mumbai Indians, the name of Sachin Tendulkar is still mentioned in the support staff section as an icon. The only change made was in the squad section, where Hardik Pandya's name has been added along with the captain's tag.
