Akash Ambani himself drove Rohit to Wankhede, video went viral
Mumbai Indians co-owner Akash Ambani was seen with former team captain Rohit Sharma. Akash Ambani himself drove Rohit to Wankhede Stadium. Where on Thursday Mumbai Indians faced Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). A video of Akash driving Ambani’s car and taking Rohit with him is going viral on social media. In the video, Akash is seen driving the car, while Rohit is sitting on the seat next to him.
Captaincy was snatched from Rohit
Things have not been going well for the Mumbai Indians franchise for some time now. In fact, last year, before the players auction for the IPL 2024 season, Mumbai had again included Hardik Pandya in the team. Hardik was a part of Mumbai Indians for a long time and started his career from here. However, before the big auction for the 2022 season, Mumbai released Hardik and Gujarat Titans included him in their team and made him the captain. Hardik’s two-year journey with Gujarat went well. Hardik led the team to victory under his captaincy in 2022, whereas last year the team was the runner-up. This was the reason why Mumbai once again showed interest in Hardik and traded him to Gujarat. Till now the situation was fine, but after the auction, Mumbai made Hardik the captain in place of Rohit, which created controversy. Rohit’s fans were disappointed when Hardik was handed over the command. There were reports that things are not going well between Rohit and Hardik and Rohit is angry with Hardik’s captaincy and may leave the team.
Is this an attempt to convince Rohit?
Seeing the way Akash Ambani and Rohit were seen together in the car, the debate has intensified whether the Mumbai team management is trying to pacify Rohit who is said to be angry? There is also a lot of discussion about what will be the role of Rohit in the team in future? Amidst these discussions, jugalbandhi was seen between Akash and Rohit. Akash and Rohit were seen talking after the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. It is known that Hyderabad had scored 277 runs in that match against Mumbai, which is the biggest score in IPL history. Mumbai had to face defeat in this match.
Rohit is batting aggressively
Rohit is batting aggressively in the current season of IPL. Rohit’s strike rate in powerplay this season has been 171.01. Although he has not scored a single half-century so far, he has 118 runs in his name in four matches. Rohit played a stormy innings of 49 runs on 27 balls in the team’s last match against Delhi Capitals.
