Mumbai Indians star Rohit Sharma was shockingly dropped from the starting XI for Saturday’s IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Hours prior, a leaked video went viral on social media, showing Sharma expressing dissatisfaction with the team’s management. Mumbai Indians’ new skipper Hardik Pandya opted to bowl first in Kolkata, leaving open the possibility of Sharma playing in the second innings as an Impact Player. This is the second time this season that Sharma has been benched, following an earlier incident against KKR in their home game. The leaked video clip, which was quickly deleted by KKR, has sparked controversy and raised questions about the team’s internal dynamics.
