Mumbai Indians Fans Unhappy with Absence of Rohit Sharma from Team India Post
Some Mumbai Indians fans were disappointed after Rohit Sharma was missing from the franchise’s post following the announcement of the India squad for the first two Tests against England. Despite the clear distinction between the Indian Premier League and international cricket, franchises often turn to social media to engage fans with content related to Team India’s activities. However, a recent post by Mumbai Indians after the announcement of the Team India’s squad for the first two Tests against England drew mixed reactions from Rohit Sharma’s supporters. In the post, featuring pictures of KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, and Shreyas Iyer, Rohit Sharma, the team captain, was notably absent.
On Friday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revealed the squad for the initial two Tests against England. The following day, Mumbai Indians shared a post on the same subject that left some fans dissatisfied. The post highlighted the maiden call-up for wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel but omitted Rohit Sharma, the captain of the team.
Rohit Sharma is set to lead the team, with Jasprit Bumrah serving as vice-captain. The squad includes three wicketkeepers: KL Rahul, KS Bharat, and Dhruv Jurel. Notably, the Test squad features four spinners—Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav. India’s formidable pace attack comprises Avesh Khan, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mukesh Kumar, contributing to a strong 16-member squad. The middle-order lineup remains unchanged, featuring Virat Kohli, Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Shubman Gill.
