MI divided into 2 groups, owners backing captain Hardik Pandya

Since assuming the captaincy mantle from the five-time champion and star batsman Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians' fans have grappled with accepting this decision.

This sentiment was palpable during the initial two matches of the ongoing IPL, where fans vocally expressed their disapproval towards Hardik Pandya while steadfastly rallying behind Rohit Sharma.

A recent report by Dainik Jagran has brought to light the internal dynamics within the Mumbai Indians team.

It unveils the presence of two distinct factions: one faction led by Rohit Sharma, comprising players like Jasprit Bumrah, Tilak Varma, and others; and another faction spearheaded by Hardik Pandya, with members such as Ishan Kishan and others.

Furthermore, the report underscores that Hardik Pandya has garnered backing from the team owners, underscoring the evident schism within the team.
