Mumbai Indians are perhaps the most talked-about team in the run-up to the IPL 2024, after they announced Hardik Pandya as their skipper, after removing Rohit Sharma. After the IPL 2024 Auction, despite putting together a decent team, Aakash Chopra still feels, that the franchises’ only stumbling block could be the ‘improper atmosphere’.
In a Youtube video on his channel, Chopra said that Mumbai Indians could also have a great run in the IPL 2024 if they gel well. “If the Mumbai Indians play to their potential this year, they should be at the podium. Being in the top four is almost a given. Only one thing can stop them. They have done a great job for Hardik Pandya, made a good team, but Hardik Pandya will have to make the team atmosphere.”
“He will have to get everyone together. This team usually stays together. There is no doubt about that, but there is a slight undercurrent with regards to Rohit going.”I really hope nothing goes wrong there because if there is no problem there, Mumbai is the side to beat.”
