"Chinta Maat Karo...": How Mumbai Indians Owner Reacted To Fan's Rohit Sharma Query At IPL Auction

The conversations about Mumbai Indians ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Auction was mostly around the change in captaincy as Hardik Pandya replaced Rohit Sharma in the position. Hardik completed a sensational move to MI from Gujarat Titans before the auction and his appointment ended the ten-year tenure of Rohit at the helm. During the auction, a fan loudly enquired about the plans of the franchise regarding Rohit and MI owner Akash Ambani came up with a brilliant reply.  According to a video posted by the franchise on social media, he told the supporter - "Do not worry, he will bat, Akash Ambani responded to a fan at the IPL 2024 mini auction".

Meanwhile, in a history-making move, Australia pacer Mitchell Starc was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a whopping Rs 24.75 crores just hours after his skipper Pat Cummins had breached the Rs 20 crore mark after being brought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), to become the most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the auction in Dubai on Tuesday.
