In the Indian Premier League-2024, 5-time champion Mumbai Indians (MI) had to face defeat in their very first match. After this defeat, the new captain of the team Hardik Pandya is being trolled a lot on social media.

A video of Pandya is going viral on social media, in which he is telling the fielding position to former MI captain Rohit Sharma, and Rohit is seen running here and there. After this, fans took notice of Hardik on social media and trolled him a lot.

Before this, some fans were also seen booing his name in the stadium. Also, fans reached the stadium with posters in support of Rohit. On which slogans like 'Rohit Sharma Captain Forever' and 'Mumbai Cha Raja Rohit Sharma' were written. Hardik Pandya has been appointed as the new captain of MI from the IPL-2024 season.

Pandya puts Rohit on the boundary for fielding.
In the last over of Gujarat's innings, Pandya came to bowl to Gerald Coetzee. During this, Pandya signaled Rohit to go to the boundary. On this Rohit indicated, should I go? After this Pandya made it clear that you should go. After this, Rohit goes towards long-on for fielding and stands there. Even after going to the boundary, Pandya moves Rohit from his place 2 to 3 times.

He himself came to bowl the first over in place of Bumrah.
Pandya did not give the first over to Jasprit Bumrah and himself came to bowl the first over with the new ball. Which was quite a surprising decision. Pandya-Luke pair could not take wickets with the new ball.

Fans are not able to digest his captaincy in place of Rohit.
Before the mini auction of IPL 2024, MI had traded Pandya to Gujarat Titans. Pandya returned to Mumbai after playing for Gujarat for two seasons. After this, MI removed Rohit, who had won the trophy five times, and made Pandya the new captain of the team. The fans did not like this, and they continuously troll Hardik.
