Mumbai: The cricketing world is witnessing a wave of support for Indian captain Rohit Sharma, with Rajasthan Royals player Yuzvendra Chahal expressing solidarity by changing his profile picture to ‘X’. In the photo, Chahal is seen holding Rohit, who recently stepped down as the captain of the Mumbai Indians.
Chahal, who previously played for the Mumbai Indians before joining Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), has openly discussed his challenging experiences during his stint with Mumbai. The display of support from the Rajasthan Royals player adds another layer to the ongoing discussions surrounding Rohit’s captaincy change.
Former players, including Wasim Jaffer, have raised questions about the decision to remove Rohit from the captaincy role. The acquisition of Hardik Pandya from Gujarat for a significant cost of Rs. 15 crore has fueled controversy, particularly among fans.
Reports have indicated that the Delhi Capitals approached the Mumbai Indians for a potential trade involving Rohit Sharma, considering him as a leader for IPL 2024, amid uncertainties surrounding Rishabh Pant’s fitness. However, the latest report suggests that the Mumbai Indians were unwilling to part ways with their legendary skipper, despite the change in captaincy responsibilities.
