Recently, Mumbai Indians encountered a surge in fan backlash after the removal of Rohit Sharma from the captaincy. Numerous supporters have unfollowed the team across social media platforms leading to a significant decline in their online presence.

Reports emerged claiming that cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar had resigned from his advisory role within Mumbai Indians in solidarity with Rohit's ousting. Tendulkar, an influential figure within the franchise, has been an integral part since its inception notably shaping the team's identity. His association with Mumbai Indians has been pivotal from being an iconic player to serving as a mentor for ten seasons post-retirement.

Speculation arose regarding the potential fallout if Tendulkar were to sever ties with the team. His impact on the team's fanbase and identity has been immense with the very name 'Mumbai Indians' owing its origins to his suggestion during the franchise's early days.

However, contrary to circulating rumours, there's no truth to Sachin Tendulkar's alleged resignation. Reports of his departure due to personal reasons are unfounded. The management is cognizant of Tendulkar's significance to the team's legacy and fan support, understanding that his departure could significantly alter the team's status.

Moreover, Tendulkar's familial ties with the Ambani family, who own Mumbai Indians, are well-documented. His son Arjun Tendulkar's association with the team as a player has raised eyebrows, although his performance to merit an IPL contract has been questioned. Nevertheless, the relationship between Mumbai Indians and Sachin Tendulkar transcends merely securing a place for his son within the team.

The recent captaincy transition, replacing Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya holds significant implications for the team's future. It's believed that Mumbai Indians would never make such a critical decision without consulting Sachin Tendulkar highlighting his continued influence within the franchise.
