Figo reminds of Figo!
Pandya kinda got himself in the situation! Left MI - shat on them - Returns & is now leading them (Rohit had no clue that he was getting replaced plus Bumrah etc were overlooked) so of course MI fans hate him! Pandya screwed Pandya!
This is nothing like Luis Figo, c’mon.
There’s no animosity between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans, let alone the decades long rivalry between Spain’s top two where on pitch events play only a minor role in contrast to everything off it historically.
The real blame lies with the owners who made this boneheaded decision but I doubt anyone’s going to criticise them for very obvious reasons, so we have a circle where the MI fans realise partly that they’re responsible but can’t criticise them because they may get ejected out of the stadium or be accused of hypocrisy when their team has been bankrolled by them and so resort to taking out their frustration on Pandya, the GT fans criticise their former captain for leaving them, other fans criticise Pandya for numerous reasons ranging from general dislike to their favourite Rohit being poorly treated, the other players and commentators hit back at the fans because they’re an easy and convenient target to do so for selling clicks. Meanwhile, the directly involved parties all have a mixture of emotions and feelings that make them reluctant to air out all of their grievances publicly at least for now.
