Under the leadership of Hardik, the franchise lost their first match to Gujarat Titans and lost the match against Hyderabad in their second game.

While speaking in the media, Ambai Rayudu said, “Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Surayakumar Yadav have given their blood to the team. They have worked hard to make it a successful unit.
“I know they all are together, but Rohit should make a statement that he is with skipper Hardik and will help him in taking the franchise forward,” he concluded.
Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals will be playing in the 14th match of the IPL 2024 campaign on April 01 at Wankhede Stadium.
