Mumbai Indians are losing fans on a regular basis.
Fans of the Mumbai Indians lost all patience when the team announced that all-rounder Hardik Pandya would take Rohit Sharma's place as captain ahead of the 2024 Indian Premier League. As a result, within an hour of the announcement, over 400k people unfollowed the team on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, severely diminishing their fan base. The Mumbai Indians' official Instagram account has lost nearly five lakhs followers since Hardik Pandya was named captain. Undoubtedly, in a protest, fans have begun to unfollow MI on social media.
Many observers predicted a change in leadership with the Mumbai Indians' all-cash acquisition of Hardik Pandya from the Gujarat Titans. The team decided on a new captain on Friday, December 15, despite the fact that Rohit has had tremendous success leading the team since assuming the role in 2013. That year, he guided them to their first trophy, and the team went on to win four more in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020.
