Hardik Pandya declared ‘chapri’ as Rohit Sharma fans bombard all-rounder with chants during GT vs MI clash

Last night, Hardik Pandya was not just booed or jeered by the countless fans of Gujarat Titans present at the Narendra Modi stadium, he was also taunted by fans of Rohit Sharma. Pandya’s return to the home ground of his former franchise did not go down well as his Mumbai Indians lost their opening IPL 2024 by 6 runs. It will be fair to say that not a single person inside the stadium liked the all-rounder wearing the MI jersey.

In a fresh new video coming all the way from Ahmedabad, fans can be heard chanting “Chapri-Chapri” to Hardik Pandya who was heading into the dressing room after the match concluded. Those fans might actually be Rohit Sharma fans who are one of those many people that did not like MI management’s decision to remove Rohit from captaincy.

Scenes like these are very rare to see in cricket and it is something that is happening for the very first time in Indian Premier League’s history. Before this, we have seen feuds between Sreesanth & Harbhajan, Virat Kohli & Gautam Gambhir among many others but this particular feud between Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma is something brand new.

Watch video of Rohit Sharma’s fans taunting Hardik Pandya

This was just the first match that Hardik Pandya captained and there are still about 2 months of actions left in IPL 2024 and the all-rounder is already being trolled so much. So just guess what will happen when Hardik plays in Wankhede and other venues of the league. In the next match too, it is possible that Rohit Sharma fans will continue to taunt Pandya for the way he behaved with the Indian captain during his first match in charge.

In his rude attitude, Hardik Pandya was giving directions to Rohit Sharma as to where to field or not. That video displayed Pandya standing with new MI pacer Gerald Coetzee about the fielding set-up and the all-rounder was seen giving directions to Rohit.

The 5-time IPL winning captain with the franchise at first could not understand if Pandya was asking him to take a certain position. It was almost as if Rohit Sharma was not ready to believe that Hardik was behaving with him like that but that’s just how the game operates and that’s how things go in sports generally.

But the MI management led by Mark Boucher must not forget that Rohit is still the captain of team India and love for him among the fans is still the same as before.

Rohit Sharma bats well but Mumbai Indians lose

It will be fair to say that some of the Mumbai Indians fans will be happy with the 6-run loss against Gujarat Titans last night. That particular section of fans is obviously day 1 Rohit Sharma supporters who were also enjoying themselves after seeing the way Hitman was smacking during Mumbai’s unsuccessful run chase.

Rohit Sharma had scored 43 runs off just 29 balls at a strike rate of 148. His knock included 7 classy fours and a six. He will look to continue adding runs to his tally when Mumbai take a trip to Hyderabad in their 2nd league match 2 days later.
