'Rohit Sharma' Placards Not Allowed At Wankhede Stadium? Video Goes Viral During MI vs RR IPL Game

Mumbai Indians had a very torrid start to their home campaign at the IPL 2024 against Rajasthan Royals on Monday as their batters failed to fire. It has been a season to forget for Mumbai Indians with three successive losses seeing them at the bottom of the 10-team points table. To add to MI's troubles, the captaincy change from Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya has left many fans angry. Pandya has been getting booed during MI's matches, same was the case on Monday at the Wankhede Stadium.

In the midst of this a video went viral on social media where it was claimed that a placard on Rohit Sharma and quote from a famous Bollywood movie was not allowed at the Wankhede Stadium. "Rishte mein toh hum tumhare, captain baap lagte hain," the placard read. It is not clear whether the video is authentic or not. NDTV can't ascertain if the video was taken outside the Wankhede Stadium.

Mumbai Indians management not allowing any Rohit Sharma posters inside the stadium.

This is hypocrisy at its best. Fans are biggest Stakeholders in IPL and cricket.
Then why should fans buy your tickets??.

Rumours have also been rampant that Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) have started planning steps against fans targetting Hardik.

However, MCA have denied the same, saying that they will be following BCCI's guidelines on crowd behaviour.

"No instructions given for this specific game. There have been set guidelines issued by BCCI on spectators behaviour over the years, that is process that is followed," an MCA statement read, as quoted by News 18.
