The former captain Rohit Sharma’s posters were spotted being thrown outside the stadium prior to the Mumbai Indians’ matchup with the Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, April 1. These demonstrations were alarming.
X (previously known as Twitter) users have claimed that they were not permitted to carry posters in support of Rohit Sharma. Fans can be seen abandoning their placards and posters outside the venue in the video that has gone viral on social media.
The situation happened as a result of rumours that anyone caught booing Hardik Pandya would be led from the arena. It is noteworthy to mention that Pandya has been met with jeers in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad stadiums ever since he assumed the leadership of MI.
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.

Early on in Wankhede, the Rajasthan Royals overpowered the Mumbai Indians.
Speaking of the match between the Mumbai Indians and the Rajasthan Royals, the Mumbai Indians lost the toss and chose to bat first to start the contest. Star batsman Rohit Sharma was out for a golden duck as soon as the five-time champions took the pitch.
In addition, Trent Boult dismissed Naman Dhir for a golden duck, and Dewald Brevis was also out for a duck. Although Ishan Kishan, the opener, appeared to be in the flow, the wicketkeeper was out for 16 runs in just 14 deliveries.
