A video has surfaced on social media, leaving fans wondering if the relationship between Hardik and Malinga has soured. In the video, the MI captain can be seen pushing the legendary Sri Lankan away.
Malinga, a Mumbai Indians legend and current coach, hugged Hardik after the match but the skipper seemed to be in no mood and pushed the Lankan aside after a brief handshake. Here is the video:
