MI star Mohammad Nabi shares blasts captain Hardik Pandya’s ‘strange’ decision?Fact Check | Cricket News

An interesting post on social media went viral after Mumbai Indians’ narrow victory over Kings XI Punjab on Thursday. In a screenshot of a post purportedly retweeted by Mumbai Indians player Mohammad Nabi, a person identified as ijaz.azizi07 wrote on his Instagram story: “@mumbaiindians the decisions taken by some of your captains are very strange, Surprised people! ? Nabi didn’t bowl today.”

Insta’s report added: “Chairman. Game-changer in a very important moment! Two catches, one run out.”

Mohammad Nabi, a veteran spin all-rounder from Afghanistan, has been invited by MI for the 2024 IPL auction. In the match against Kings XI Punjab, Nabi scored 0 runs. Although he didn’t bowl, he took catches from Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh, two players who almost led PBKS to victory over MI. He was also involved in the run of Kagiso Rabada – the last wicket to fall.

However, social media said the Instagram Story post retweeted by Mohammad Nabi did not appear on his profile on Friday afternoon.

Interestingly, the original post made by the Instagram user under the display name ijaz.azizi07 still exists on the user’s account. However, it is unclear whether Mohammad Nabi retweeted the post.

The screenshot went viral, sparking speculation that all was not right in the MI camp. However, as of now, MI has not issued an official statement on the incident.

Meanwhile, Pandya was fined for MI’s slow overshooting against Punjab Kings.

“Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya was cheering for the team’s TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Kings XI Punjab at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur on April 18 Pandya was fined Rs 12 lakh for his team’s first violation of the IPL’s minimum over-rate code of conduct this season,” the IPL said in a statement.
