What followed has melted hearts across the internet. With a humble smile, Nita Ambani folded her hands and responded gently, “Sab Sai Baba ki ichha hai” — “It’s all Sai Baba’s wish.” Her graceful and composed response struck a chord with many fans, who praised her humility and spiritual demeanor.

Rohit Sharma, a five-time IPL-winning captain, was replaced by Hardik Pandya as Mumbai Indians’ skipper ahead of the 2024 season — a move that sparked widespread debate and emotional reactions from the MI faithful. Fans of the “Hitman” continue to express their admiration and longing to see him back in the leadership role.
While there’s no official word on any change in the team’s leadership, this incident from Shirdi has only reignited the emotional connect fans have with both Rohit Sharma and the Mumbai Indians franchise. Whether or not Sai Baba’s wish aligns with the fan’s, one thing is clear — Rohit’s legacy as MI captain still holds a sacred place in the hearts of millions.
