Since the news of Hardik Pandya replacing Rohit Sharma as the skipper of Mumbai India, the five-time IPL champions are continuously under fire as ardent Rohit lovers are completely outraged over this decision. Apart from this, Chennai Super Kings took a way out of the box to give a tribute to former MI skipper Rohit Sharma from their official Instagram handle.
In the same line of events, what attracted the eyeballs was the comment of Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh on the Instagram post shared by the Chennai Super Kings. Ritika commented with a yellow heart in response to CSK’s tributary post for Rohit.
The joint-most successful team of the tournament uploaded a video on Instagram in which they added the pictures of CSK skipper MS Dhoni and former MI skipper Rohit together.
“2013 ➡️ 2023: A decade of spirited challenge! Much respect, Rohit!” read the caption of the Instagram video CSK shared for Rohit Sharma.
Here’s a look at Ritika Sajdeh’s response on CSK’s Instagram post for Rohit Sharma:
Notably, the end of Rohit Sharma’s captaincy era at Mumbai Indians didn’t go down well with a major fan base of Mumbai Indians, which was mostly devoted to Rohit Sharma. It also resulted in the loss of a massive number of followers of Mumbai Indians on social media within a period of only a few hours.
Just after the announcement of Hardik Pandya's name as the next MI captain, the franchise happened to lose 400k followers in just one hour; the number is still growing as the fans are not happy with this treatment with the captain who led the side from no IPL trophies to 5 IPL trophies and made it the joint-most successful side in the 15-year-long history of the tournament across the 16 seasons played so far.
Speaking of current cricketing action for Rohit Sharma, he will be seen leading Team India in the upcoming two-match Test series against South Africa.
Here’s how fans reacted to Ritika Sajdeh’s reaction to CSK’s post:
