New Delhi. In the Indian Premier League 2024, fans created a lot of ruckus in the initial matches regarding the new captain of Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya. Even before the start of the tournament, the team management had decided to make Hardik the new captain of the team in place of Rohit Sharma. Last season, he was taking the responsibility of captaining Gujarat Titans. Mumbai team has included him in its team for this season.
Mumbai Indians team started the new IPL season with a match against Gujarat Titans. In this match, the fans booed Hardik Pandya loudly in the stadium. Indian team’s senior bowler R Ashwin is very angry after seeing the way he was treated. This stalwart, who has been playing under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma for a long time, has supported Hardik and warned the fans to remain within limits.
R Ashwin said that there is no need for Pandya or Mumbai Indians to clarify this but urged fans to be rational in their behaviour. He said, “This happens in some other country.” Have you seen Joe Root and Jack Crowley fighting? Have you seen fans of Joe Root or Jos Buttler fighting? Do Steve Smith and Pat Cummins fans fight?
Ashwin said, “Sourav Ganguly played under the captaincy of Sachin Tendulkar and Sachin played under the captaincy of Sourav.” Both also played under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid. All three played under the captaincy of Anil Kumble and all of them played under the captaincy of Dhoni. Dhoni also played under the captaincy of Virat Kohli.
