“Release Hardik Pandya” – Jadeja gave important advice to Mumbai Indians
53-year-old Jadeja believes that fast bowler Bumrah is more important than Hardik. In such a situation, use of RTM for Hardik can prove beneficial for MI. Jadeja said, “If you have RTM then you can take advantage of it. I am not saying that it decides the ability or strength of the player. However, if you look at a player like Bumrah and his value and then Hardik in the market, it will be a difficult task.”

Krishnappa Gautham said, I think Mumbai has a very professional setup. When it comes to Mumbai, everything is very organised. When it comes to Chennai, they are also professional and organised. They have everything that Mumbai has, but what I like most about CSK is that they will make sure that you are comfortable and at the same time they will make sure that your whole family is comfortable. They believe that if people around you are comfortable and they are happy, then you can perform at your best. They make sure that everyone is in a good condition and a good mental state.

“Mumbai lobby is a reality” – Fans trolled Sanjay Manjrekar fiercely for his controversial comment.
Sanjay Manjrekar said that he does not pay much attention to the players of the North. Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Indian team and former Mumbai cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has once again come under attack from fans for his comments during live telecast. The famous commentator said something in the India vs New Zealand match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, which has now created an uproar on social media. Manjrekar said that he does not pay much attention to the players of the North. Many people felt bad about his words. After this, Sanjay Manjrekar had to face the ‘Mumbai lobby’ jibe on social media. Manjrekar made this controversial comment in the 11th over of the Indian innings. Actually, Manjrekar’s commentary partner was discussing Indian team’s fielding coach Munish Bali. He told Manjrekar that the fielding coach is a former cricketer from Punjab. After this, Manjrekar said, “Sorry, I did not recognize him.” I don’t pay much attention to the players from the North.” Fans trolled Sanjay Manjrekar Fans probably did not like his comment because Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur is also from Punjab. After hearing his comment, fans have started giving their reactions on social media. One fan wrote, “Mumbai lobby is a reality.” Another said, “Experts say that Mumbai lobby does not exist. This is a product of people’s imagination. But now see for yourself.” Let us tell you that Munish Bali, resident of Patiala, is one of the most experienced coaches of the Indian cricket circuit. He started off as the head coach of Punjab’s age-group level teams. He has considerable experience in international setup. He has been the assistant coach of the team that won the Under-19 World Cup in 2008, which had great fielders like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Manish Pandey. Team India did not have a good start in the T20 World Cup 2024. In this match, New Zealand has defeated India by 58 runs. Batting first, New Zealand set a target of 161 runs for India. So when India set out to chase this target, it was all out for just 102 runs in 19 overs. In the match, no Indian batsman could play an innings bigger than 15 runs.
