For IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians had removed their great captain Rohit Sharma and made Hardik Pandya the captain. Hardik was traded to Gujarat Titans during the auction and it was reported that Pandya had put a condition to come to Mumbai. The condition was that he wanted captaincy in place of Rohit Sharma. Mumbai Indians did not take care of Rohit even once and removed him from the captaincy.

After Rohit Sharma was removed like this, the fans were furious with Mumbai Indians and Hardik Pandya. Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh had also expressed her anger about this.

The fans were so angry with this fact that they trolled Hardik Pandya a lot in the initial matches of Mumbai Indians. Fans had crossed the limits of trolling. Its effect could be seen on Hardik, he was becoming mentally weak due to trolling. Meanwhile, now former Australian captain Aaron Finch has given a statement regarding the trolling of Hardik.

Rohit Sharma could have stopped all these things: Aaron Finch

“The only thing I would love to see from Rohit throughout the IPL campaign is to make a public statement in support of Hardik Pandya. There has been a lot of resentment towards Hardik in the hearts of the public. The way he is being ‘booed’ is not the limit. Therefore, I would love for Rohit himself to come forward and take a stand for Hardik in front of the public. He should support Hardik publicly in front of everyone.”

Aaron Finch told what statement Rohit should give-

“I think he should say, making Hardik the captain is part of Mumbai Indians’ plan and Hardik has my full support. Just imagine how much faster that could fix things.”

he adds-

“When Hardik was named in the World Cup squad, he got support. But he was ‘booed’ a lot in 8 matches. Rohit could have done this earlier and stopped his trolling.”
