The Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans match is already in full swing. Hardik Pandya, the new captain of the Mumbai Indians team, won the toss and sent Gujarat to bat first. Shubman Gill's team scored 168 runs in the scheduled 20 overs, losing 6 wickets. However, all eyes were on Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma in this Sunday match organized at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Everyone was looking at how their relationship is in the field. However, towards the end of the Gujarat Titans innings, Rohit Sharma was seen setting the Mumbai Indians fielding. The video has already started going viral on social media.
In this context, let us inform you that Hardik Pandya joined the Mumbai Indians camp from Gujarat Titans through trading just before the mini auction that was organized for the 2024 IPL tournament. This trading of Hardik caused quite a stir within the Gujarat Titans at that time. But, in the end, Gujarat had to let go of Hardik's hand. The entire cricket world was already excited about the One Day Cricket World Cup. The Indian cricket team also reached the final in this tournament under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. But, in the final match of the tournament, Team India lost to Australia. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya suffered an ankle injury in the tournament against Bangladesh and was ruled out of the World Cup.

However, before the World Cup ended, the Mumbai Indians management made a special announcement. Informs that Rohit Sharma will be removed from the captaincy with a view to the future. Hardik Pandya will be installed on that throne. It is not clear why this decision was taken suddenly. Even seven days before the start of the IPL tournament, Mumbai Indians organized a press conference. Team coach Mark Boucher and captain Hardik Pandya were present there. There too, the reporters questioned about taking away the captaincy from Rohit Sharma. Hardik and Boucher had to suffer a lot in response. All in all, there is no need to tell that the whole thing was in a state of confusion. In this situation, when Rohit was setting up the fielding of Mumbai Indians on Sunday, it can be said without a doubt that he has managed to satisfy the heartburn of the Mumbai fans to some extent.
