MI players have conveyed to the coaching staff that there is not much buzz inside the dressing-room.

Mumbai: Once Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday at the Uppal stadium, it meant Mumbai Indians were knocked out of the playoff race and they became the first side to exit as well. MI has merely won four out of their 12 games. Now reports emerge that senior MI players have questioned Hardik Pandya’s style of captaincy. An Indian Express report claims that MI players have conveyed to the coaching staff that there is not much buzz inside the dressing-room.

“These are regular teething problems for a team that sees leadership change. This happens in sports all the time,” an MI official said.

The report also claims that the meeting happened over a meal where the MI cricketers met the staff. Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah are the names mentioned in the report that raised the dissent.
