In a surprising turn of events, a video has surfaced showing Rohit Sharma, former captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI), seated alongside Akash Ambani, the owner of the franchise, inside a car. The video, recorded by fans, has sparked endless speculation and raised questions about the future of the team ahead of their IPL 2024 clash against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
The video, which quickly went viral on social media platforms, shows Rohit Sharma in the passenger seat, while Akash Ambani is believed to be behind the wheel as the car stops at the Wankhede Stadium, the venue for the upcoming match. The physical resemblance of the driver to Akash Ambani has led many to believe that it was indeed him in the video.
The timing of this video is particularly interesting as MI has been going through a turbulent phase in IPL 2024. The team has struggled, losing three out of four matches, with their only win coming against the Delhi Capitals. The decision to appoint Hardik Pandya as captain has been met with criticism from fans, who have been demanding Rohit Sharma’s return as captain.
The video has led to speculation that there could be significant changes within the MI camp, including the possibility of Rohit Sharma reclaiming the captaincy mid-season. This theory has been supported by former cricketers, including Manoj Tiwary, who believe that if MI’s fortunes don’t change soon, Rohit could be handed back the captaincy.
This potential change in captaincy is reminiscent of a similar situation involving the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2022. CSK initially appointed Ravindra Jadeja as captain but reverted to MS Dhoni after a string of losses. Whether MI will follow a similar path remains to be seen, but the speculation has certainly added to the intrigue surrounding the team.
The video also comes at a time when tensions have been high within the MI camp, with reports of booing and jeering towards Hardik Pandya from fans. Despite a recent win against the Capitals, the unrest among fans persists, highlighting the pressure on the team to perform.
