RR have won both of their IPL matches so far and on the other hand, MI are unable to register their first victory of the tournament and currently on 10 of the points table. Five time champions are currently facing a huge backlash because of the change in captaincy.
New skipper Hardik Pandya has facing a lot of heat from the fans. The reason behind Hardik being viciously targeted by fans mainly stems from his switch from Gujarat Titans, a team he captained to IPL 2022 win and IPL 2023 final, to Mumbai Indians, who gave him his first big break in the tournament.
What has also added more fuel to the brutal fan anger towards Hardik is him replacing five-time IPL winning captain Rohit Sharma as the MI captain ahead of IPL 2024, shortly after his switch to the team was confirmed in November 2023.
