Aakash Chopra on Mumbai’s love for its favourite son 🗣️
Today at Wankhede wasn’t just about Rohit Sharma’s batting… it was about Mumbai’s love for him.
After 10 PM, the DJ stopped and the crowd took over and everyone started chanting “Mumbai Cha Raja… Rohit Sharma.” 30,000 fans, one voice. Surreal feeling. 😍
An open letter to @mipaltan from a lifelong fan who bleeds blue:
Dear MI,
There will never come a day where I stop supporting you even if you get successive 10th place finishes.
I know I will never get a free ticket after what I speak here, but as your biggest supporter, I would still like to be honest with you because if we genuine fans do not have hard conversations that reach the right ears, then who will?
Me getting a free ticket is not more important than MI coming back on track and showing on the field why we are the biggest T20 franchise on the planet.
Many among us are going through tough times in our personal lives, some are probably worried about jobs, some are probably medically ill, some are probably having anxiety issues and depression and trying to survive every single day. In all this, cricket becomes the biggest escape and therapy for a lot of people.
Wins and losses are part and parcel of the game. Every franchise has a high point and a low point and we are willing to ride with the team on every possible journey. But we draw the line when it comes to "lack of effort"
We are familiar with how MI always knows how to make comebacks. But in each of those years, the initial losses were close. There was a purpose..we could see the players are trying everything and playing for the badge even in 2022 and 2024 when we finished last.
The lack of effort disappoints us. Mistakes repeating disappoints us. We are in Big 2026 and you cannot be scoring below 200 in good batting conditions because games like today will happen.
Players batting out of positions, lack of intent in PP, lack of wicket taking options like Bumrah, lack of planning lack of trying to put in hidden gems like Mohammed Izhar into the mix and sticking to same old formula that is not working.
We agree with what Hardik Pandya said after the game that tough conversations need to be made and individuals need to be questioned. They are not playing for any small franchise. They are playing for the biggest and the most successful franchise ever.
What Rohit Sharma had built with so much love and affection is slowly getting disintegrated. It is tough to watch that teams no longer fear Mumbai when playing at the Wankhede.
Make tough calls. Be Brave. The only reputation you need to worry about is not of the individuals but of the legacy of the badge.
Hoping to see a reaction against GT. It is a sincere request from a genuine fan. The result does not matter..but please play for the badge.
Play for Mumbai. Play for every single broken fan who is making their way to Marine Lines station to make the long journey back home. Play for Millions back home glued to their TV sets who kept supporting MI no matter who the captain was.
Yours Truly and Faithfully.
- A common MI fan who bleeds blue.
🚨 Brianna Lafferty, a 33-year-old from Colorado, lived with a rare neurological condition called myoclonus dystonia, which causes sudden, uncontrollable muscle contractions. One day, her condition made her heart stop. In the hospital, doctors declared her clinically dead for eight minutes - no heartbeat, no breathing, no brain activity.
But according to Brianna, her awareness never actually disappeared. She says it felt like she gently stepped out of her body, like taking off a heavy coat, and entered a space beyond time. There was no pain or fear, just a sense of peace and clarity, and a feeling of being more alive than ever.
In that state, she noticed that her thoughts shaped what she experienced. Any negative thought faded before it could fully form, and peaceful ones seemed to ripple outward. While only eight minutes passed here, she says it felt like months as she explored, reflected, and met beings made of pure awareness who radiated love and wisdom.
When she came back, she had to relearn basic things and even went through brain surgery due to damage to her pituitary gland. But she says something deeper changed. She’s no longer afraid of death and lives with a stronger sense of purpose and awareness of how much our thoughts influence our reality.
Now, Brianna sees death not as an ending, but as what she calls “a change of address” - a shift in form rather than a final goodbye.
Asha ji’s voice gave the world countless timeless melodies, and her warmth touched every heart. Holding her hand in this moment is a memory I will cherish forever, just as India will hold her songs in its heart forever.
A piece of advice for Hardik Pandya📌;
He should focus on playing as an all rounder and hand over the captaincy to Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah or Suryakumar yadav !! We, as Rohit fans will start supporting him again !! Right now it feels like he is ruining the legacy of Mumbai Indians which was once taken to the top by Rohit Sharma !! Dear, Hardik Pandya please step down from the captaincy for God's sake & help make MI great again !!🙌🔥❤
KAPIL DEV DISAPPOINTED HARDIK PANDYA CAPTAINCY !
Kapil Dev Said 🗣️,
“Hardik Pandya’s captaincy is something I really can’t understand. A batsman like Rajat Patidar, who plays spin very well, came in to bat, and at that moment he handed the ball to spinner Mayank Markande—and the result was as expected. Even Bumrah doesn’t look like Bumrah under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy. There are serious question marks over Hardik Pandya’s captaincy.”
🗣️ Ashwin blasted on Hardik Pandya captaincy:
During the 2024 RCB vs SRH match Rajat Patidar was smashing Mayank Markande all around the ground. Everyone knows Rajat is a monster six-hitter against spinners, but you still brought a Mayank to bowl when he came to bat. Very very average captaincy, it eventually made the difference between 220 and 240.
🚨 हार्दिक पांड्याच्या सुमार कर्णधारपदावर हरभजन सिंग यांचे विधान 🚨
हरभजन सिंग: ही ती 'मुंबई इंडियन्स' नाही, जिच्यासाठी मी खेळलो होतो. मी मुंबई इंडियन्सला इतक्या दयनीय अवस्थेत यापूर्वी कधीच पाहिले नव्हते... ना कोणताही उत्साह, ना कोणतीही ओळख. ही आता रोहित शर्माची मुंबई राहिलेली नाही; ही आता हार्दिकची मुंबई आहे आणि हे स्पष्टपणे दिसून येत आहे.

Hardik Pandya made GT to a Champion and Sold for Ambani's Money and returned to Mumbai Indians to keep "Mi Star" Value was a blunder . He hasn't received the same respect that he had at GT
He is clutch for india , but MI's Case he is Next level fraud
I'm not saying because I'm Rohit Sharma fan, I'm saying it as a former Mumbai Indians fan.
Remove Hardik Pandya from captaincy for god sake, he is not a captain material. I don't want Rohit Sharma to be captain again, even if Naman Dheer is doing captaincy I will support MI, atleast he will not do brain faded captaincy.
It really feel bad to see a franchise like MI struggling this much.
Keep your ego aside @mipaltan listen to people's voice.
