NEW DELHI: Ever since
Hardik Pandya
replaced
Rohit Sharma
as Mumbai Indians skipper, talks are doing the rounds on social media that all is not well in the MI camp.
And the latest social media post of MI added fuel to the fire which has Rohit missing from a team photo collage featuring players enjoying while donning trendy shades.
The change in leadership at Mumbai surprised many but Pandya did not think it would affect his relationship with India captain Rohit, who led the franchise to five IPL crowns.
"I don't think it will be awkward, or anything different. It will be a nice feeling because we've been playing (together) for 10 years," said Pandya.
"I've played my whole career under him, and I know he's going to have a hand on my shoulder always.

"He's been travelling, he's been playing. It's been a couple of months since we've seen each other. Once he comes, we'll definitely have a chat."
In November last year, Pandya moved back from Gujarat Titans to his former franchise as part of a trade between the two franchises. The star all-rounder spent two momentous years with GT, spearheading their campaign in the cash-rich league with confidence.
In GT's debut season in 2022, Hardik got them off to a fairytale start, with the team lifting the coveted trophy.
The Mumbai-based franchise will kick off their campaign against Gujarat Titans on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
