The time of Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma is not going well these days. In IPL 2025, the team of these two veterans Mumbai Indians are facing continuous defeat. The team has suffered defeat in 4 out of 5 matches of the tournament. All this is happening at a time when in the Champions Trophy a month ago, they were showing amazing in the Jersey of Team India. Now, amidst poor performance of Mumbai Indians, suddenly these two veterans once again appeared in Team India dress and the reason for this is 'Faja' with a net worth of about 3469 crores.
But who is this 'Phana'? Let us tell you.
These people are Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktum, who is famous worldwide as 'Faja'. Sheikh Hamdan is actually a Crown Prince of Dubai and is the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates as well as the Defense Minister. He has come on an official visit to India these days, where he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday 8 April.Apart from Prime Minister Modi, Sheikh Hamdan also went to Mumbai on this tour and he also met Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav here. During this, these three star players appeared in Team India dress and they also gifted a blue jersey of the Indian team to Sheikh Hamdan.
He posted a photo of this on his Instagram account. The special thing is that during this time Jai Shah, Chairman of ICC and former BCCI Secretary Jai Shah was also present.View this post on Instagram
Now if you are wondering why these 3 legendary players of Mumbai Indians and Team India reached to meet the Crown Prince of Dubai suddenly in the middle of the IPL? The reason for this is not only a diplomatic relationship between India and the UAE, but also the cricket relationship between the two countries. In the last few years, UAE, especially in Dubai, Team India has played many matches. The recent Champions Trophy also won by Team India in Dubai. Also, 2 seasons of IPL were also played in UAE during the era of Corona virus infection. Apart from these, the headquarters of ICC is also in Dubai, due to which Chairman Jai Shah also became a part of it.
