Rohit Sharma fans continue to campaign against Mumbai Indians on social media days after the franchise removed him as the captain of the franchise despite him being the captain to have led them to each of their five IPL titles. As late as December 17, 19:00 hours (IST) #RIPMumbaiIndians continues to be one of the top trends on X (formerly Twitter). While some fans are sharing videos of themselves burning MI's jerseys, others are calling out fellow fans to unfollow the team's social media.
MI have already lost lakhs of followers already following their announcement of Hardik Pandya leading the side in IPL 2024. MI managed to rope in Hardik Pandya in the trade window and even though Rohit was listed as the captain in the team retention list, days before the auction, the decision to gave the captaincy baton to Hardik was announced.
