Mumbai Indians’ dismal IPL 2024 season has been marred by a reported rift between former captain Rohit Sharma and current captain Hardik Pandya, leading to a divided dressing room. Despite having one match remaining, MI has no chance of reaching the playoffs and faces the challenge of avoiding a bottom-of-the-table finish against Lucknow Super Giants on Friday. However, their bigger concern lies in the strained relationship between Sharma and Pandya, which has created distinct camps within the team. Sources claim that Indian players favor Sharma’s reinstatement as captain, while overseas players support Pandya. This divide has reportedly led to minimal practice time together, with Sharma’s camp leaving the scene when Pandya arrives at the nets. The poor form of both Sharma and Pandya has further contributed to MI’s struggles. With major changes expected in the team setup ahead of next year’s mega auctions, the fractured relationship between the two captains could lead to significant upheaval within the Mumbai Indians franchise.
