Mumbai: A lot of buzz was created when Rohit Sharma was removed as the Mumbai Indians captain and Hardik Pandya was made the new leader for the upcoming season. Not a lot was known why this decision was taken. But a couple of days back, MI coach Mark Boucher gave an interview in which he revealed why the decision was taken. Boucher called it a ‘cricketing’ decision and that confused everyone. Hours after that interview grabbed eyeballs, Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika took to social media and commented on Boucher’s video. Her comment read: “So many things wrong with this.”
What this comment did was, it set the cat among the pigeons and the controversy snowballed. Now, the video that went viral where Boucher makes the revelation has been removed. It does not exist anymore on Instagram page, “smashsportsinc”.
So, that brings us to the main question – did Mumbai Indians force the podcast to take down the episode? At the moment, that is what it seems like, tough there is no confirmation on it.
