Youth dies after alleged beating at South Garia drug rehab, family vandalizes centre in protest
Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has publicly expressed his support for Rohit Sharma amidst the ongoing controversy over the change in captaincy for Mumbai Indians ahead of the upcoming IPL season.
Chahal, who regards Sharma as an elder brother, altered his social media profile picture to one featuring a heartfelt embrace between the two during an international match, underscoring his solidarity with the embattled skipper.
This move comes as MI, in a surprising decision, replaced Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as the captain, leading to discontent among fans and a noticeable backlash on social media.
Mumbai Indians brought him on board during the IPL trading window last month in an all-cash deal worth ₹15 crore from GT, where captain Pandya lifted the IPL title in their maiden season.
