With Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya in the limelight for some of the wrong reasons lately, they have been included in Kolkata Police’s meme post, posted for making people aware of QR code scams.
Ever since Hardik Pandya took over as captain, replacing Rohit Sharma, there has been intense scrutiny on both players. Rohit Sharma led the Mumbai Indians to victory in five IPL titles, but this season, the team management opted for a new captain.
However, under Hardik Pandya’s leadership, Mumbai Indians have suffered defeats in their first two matches of IPL 2024. Interestingly, a photo featuring the duo has been utilized by the Kolkata Police to raise awareness about a QR code scam. The message accompanying the photo is in Bengali.
The line used in the post translates to: “When you scan the QR code after listening to a fraud, Rohit is the bank account and Hardik is deceived.”

There has been significant speculation surrounding the dynamic between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya following the change in captaincy for the Mumbai Indians ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. Hardik assumed the captaincy role, bringing an end to Rohit’s decade-long tenure as MI captain after an impressive trade move from the Gujarat Titans. Despite failing to secure victory in his debut match as MI skipper, Hardik’s leadership reignited discussions about potential tensions within the team.
Robin Uthappa Has His Say
However, former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa highlighted a positive development after the match against the Gujarat Titans that may reassure Mumbai Indians fans. Uthappa noted a lengthy conversation between Rohit and Hardik post-match, suggesting that the two players are actively engaging in constructive dialogue and exchanging ideas.
“I quite like this. It’s quite heartening to see the two of these guys having this conversation. I am sure the Mumbai Indians fans who want them to succeed will be enjoying this conversation. I am sure Rohit here, from what we see, is passing on information with Hardik and Hardik is listening like someone who wants to understand things. This is good news, this looks good to me. This will hold Mumbai Indians in good stead as the team moves forward,” Robin Uthappa told Jio Cinema.
