Watch: Rohit Sharma-Hardik Pandya Moment After Win Over Punjab Kings Is Great News For Mumbai Indians Fans

There has been a lot of chatter over the captaincy situation in Mumbai Indians with the fanbase split over the decision to appoint Hardik Pandya as the skipper in place of Rohit Sharma ahead of the new season.

However, following MI's thrilling win over Punjab Kings on Thursday, Hardik and Rohit shared a brilliant moment and it is exactly what Mumbai Indians fans wanted to see as the team eye resurgence in IPL 2024.

"Half All-Rounders": India Great's Brutal Take On IPL's 'Impact Player' Rule

Echoing the views of India captain Rohit Sharma, former pacer Zaheer Khan on Thursday raised serious concerns over the 'Impact Player' rule in the IPL, saying it produces "half-baked all-rounders". The 'Impact Player' rule, introduced in the 2023 season, allows all IPL teams to substitute a player -- batter or bowler -- during the innings. Experts have argued that the concept negates the role of an all-rounder. Someone like Shivam Dube has only been used as a power-hitter by his franchise Chennai Super Kings. Dube, also medium pacer, is in contention for the seam bowling all-rounder's option in the India set-up for the T20 World Cup but he has hardly got an opportunity to showcase his talent with the ball.
