A leaked video from an IPL 2024 shoot featuring newly-appointed Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya has gone viral on social media. In the video, Hardik could be seen complaining about the food that he was served during the shoot and he asked for his chef and nutritionist. He was served dhokla and jalebi for lunch but the India all-rounder was very clear that they were not good for his fitness and although a person tried to convince him, he was adamant that he will take be eating the food that he was served. The video has split the internet as some fans praised his dedication to fitness while there were several fans who dismissed the video as a PR stunt ahead of the competition.
Meanwhile, former India wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel said Hardik Pandya will be under tremendous pressure while leading Mumbai Indians in the upcoming IPL but termed his appointment as captain "a well thought-out decision" by the franchise.
Pandya's appointment as MI's new captain marked the end of Rohit Sharma's legendary reign.

"Of course, his (Pandya's) captaincy is a talking point. The way he led the side (Gujarat Titans), winning the championship in the first year, a last-ball finish in the final next year, it was a great run at Gujarat Titans," Parthiv told JioCinema.
"Hardik has moved on, is now back in Mumbai, where his cricket started. There will be a lot of expectations from MI because the trophy is long due.
"For MI, qualifying is not a success; it's about winning championships. That's something they must have thought, and it seems like a well-thought decision to get him on board, looking at the future."
