Mumbai: A big match of IPL 2024 will be played between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This is the first match of the Mumbai team on home ground after Rohit Sharma was removed from the captaincy and Hardik Pandya took command. The results and behavior of the fans in the matches against Gujarat and Hyderabad were not favorable for the new captain Pandya. He was heavily trolled on social media and booed in the stadium. Now when he will come to play the match at Rohit Sharma’s home ground, it can be guessed how the behavior of the fans will be.

Meanwhile, a news started going viral on Twitter. People are tweeting on Twitter claiming that the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has started planning to take action against the fans targeting Hardik.

MCA has denied this in its statement saying that they will follow BCCI guidelines on crowd behaviour. MCA said – No instructions have been given for this match. Guidelines on spectator behavior have been issued by the BCCI over the years. Meanwhile, Ashwin supported Hardik Pandya and asked him not to troll him.

Ashwin also brought up examples from the past when legends like Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly kept aside their egos and played under the then very young cricketer MS Dhoni. He said- Sourav Ganguly played under Sachin Tendulkar and vice versa. Both of them have played under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid. All three of them have played under Anil Kumble and all of them played under the captaincy of Dhoni. Later Dhoni also played under the captaincy of Virat Kohli.
