Talking about cricket, a lot of Indian cricket fans brutally trolled Pandya and the Mumbai Indians as well after the removal of Rohit Sharma from the captaincy of the five-time IPL champions. The fans were also angry at the franchise because all the IPL trophies they won were under the captaincy of Mumbai Indians.

In all this, the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma also revealed that the franchise didn’t inform him about removing him from the captaincy and he came to know about this news from an Instagram post only.

Coming back to Hardik Pandya’s argument for his meal, it attracted a lot of reactions from the cricket fans and they also trolled him after the video surfaced.
