Certain social media users have pointed out that Pandya has chosen to unfollow Sharma on Instagram, while still following Sajdeh. This development comes amidst a period of turmoil within the Mumbai Indians (MI) team, following Pandya’s appointment as skipper. Adding fuel to the fire, Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, expressed her discontent with MI coach Mark Boucher’s explanation regarding the change in captaincy.
Sajdeh’s comment on a video where Boucher clarified that the transition was solely for cricketing reasons read, “So many things wrong with this.” Consequently, rumors began to circulate about Sharma and Pandya unfollowing each other on Instagram. However, it is important to note that it is unclear whether Pandya and Sharma were even following each other to begin with. As a result, it cannot be confirmed whether they have truly unfollowed each other or not.
In addition to Pandya allegedly unfollowing Sharma on Instagram, it has also been reported that both cricketers had unfollowed each other on the platform last year. However, the veracity of these claims remains uncertain. Nevertheless, let’s take a look at how fans reacted to these rumors.
There are several comments from fans speculating on the situation, with some asserting that Pandya and Sharma never followed each other in the first place. Others claim that Pandya’s appointment as captain of the Indian team or Sharma’s captaincy of MI is not a concern for either player. It is worth noting that there seems to be a divide among fans, with some humorously referring to a “Civil War” within the MI team.
Sharma’s performance in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) was less than stellar, as he struggled to score runs. Throughout the season, he managed to accumulate just 332 runs from 16 matches, with an average of 20.75 and a strike rate of 132.80. Currently, Sharma is leading the Indian team in the ongoing five-match Test series against England. After losing the first Test, India managed to level the series at 1-1. The third Test is scheduled to take place on February 15 in Rajkot. Sharma’s scores in the first two Tests were 24, 39, 14, and 13, respectively.
