The anticipation was high for the fifth IPL 2024 match between the Mumbai Indians and the Gujarat Titans, especially with Hardik Pandya’s transition to captaincy for the five-time champions, surpassing Rohit Sharma.
However, this decision stirred discontent among many MI fans, sparking a heated debate that escalated to booing, online trolling, and even uproar among spectators in the stadium.
During the Western Derby, which saw MI’s narrow loss to the Titans by six runs, a viral video circulated on social media showing a group of individuals in the top tier expressing public outrage.
In the footage, five to six people were observed engaging in physical altercations, leading to violence reminiscent of a wrestling match, as noted by the Twitter community.
