Mumbai, India – Disappointment filled the air at Wankhede Stadium today as the Mumbai Indians (MI) took the field for their IPL 2024 season opener against the Gujarat Titans. While the new captain, Hardik Pandya, won the toss, a noticeable absence loomed large – Rohit Sharma, MI’s five-time IPL trophy-winning captain, was not present for the coin toss.
Social media buzzed with comments from fans expressing their sadness at not seeing Rohit lead the team. Many took to Twitter with messages like “#MissYouRohit” and “Not the same without Hitman at the toss.”
Rohit Sharma, a stalwart of the Mumbai Indians franchise, stepped down as captain before the season. While fans understand and respect the decision, his absence at the toss served as a reminder of his immense contribution to the team’s legacy.
Despite the initial disappointment, Mumbai Indians fans remain hopeful for a strong performance from their team under Hardik Pandya’s leadership. However, Rohit Sharma’s presence and leadership will undoubtedly be missed by many throughout the IPL season.
