Rohit Sharma: In India, the season of red-ball cricket has returned, and domestic cricket is already in full swing. The Indian team is also preparing for its first Test match against England.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, India’s apex cricket body, announced the team for the two first Test matches of the five-match series that will begin on January 25 in Hyderabad.
Several Indian Premier League franchises also shared their posts regarding players who will be playing against the Three Lions. One of the biggest IPL franchises, Mumbai Indians, caused controversy with their post about Team India. Reason? MI failed to display the Indian Captain’s and former skipper Rohit Sharma’s images in their position.
Fans took to social networks to condemn MI’s actions, calling them total disrespect. Some fans have also criticized MI, saying that it is a hint of Rohit Sharma being benched in the IPL 2024. Instead, Mumbai spotlighted Jasprit Bhumrah, KL Rahul, Shreyasi Iyer, and vice-captain Jasprit.
Mumbai Indians announced that they had traded former Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya to them during the transfer period. They added him to the team and made him their new Captain, replacing none other than “The Hitman.”
The franchise’s decision to make such a drastic change in leadership sparked several rumors in the cricketing community. MI fans were furious at the sudden move. Rohit Sharma won the IPL with his team as leader.
This move has sparked another controversy off the field, and many fans believe that Rohit Sharma’s relationship with Mumbai Indians is in a downward spiral.
The new MI captain, Hardik, has also been subjected to brutal trolling via social media. He heard Rohit Sharma chants at the airport as he left Mumbai. The current Captain, however, has yet to respond to the hatred he has received after taking on the new role that comes with many challenges.
Dhruv Jurel is a name that has yet to be widely known. Dhruv Jurel, a native of Agra in Uttar Pradesh and the son of a retired Hawaldar from the Indian Army, may not be well-known to many Indian cricket fans.
The squad consists of Dhruv, KL Rahul, KS Bharat, and KL Raul. Ishan Kishan was dropped from the team in an exciting move after he took a mental break last month.
According to reports, BCCI Selectors are unhappy with Ishan. He must prove himself to them in domestic cricket before returning to the Test team. Mohammed Shami will also be missing from the first two Test matches due to an ankle injury.
Gujarat Titans Have Released Their India Squad With Rohit Sharma, Shubhman Gill, And Other Players
With whom MI struck a deal and posted their India Squad announcement posters with Rohit Sharma’s and Shubman Gil’s images, Gujarat Titans has also opened up a Pandora’s box of speculation for cricket fans and experts. This led to the Mumbai franchise being criticized by fans.
Mumbai Indians Fans Angry Over Mumbai Indians’ Post
