A video of the brawl between the Rohit fans and the Pandya fans from inside the stadium has gone viral on social media. As per reports, the two groups had a debate between the players, which turned heated. The matter did not stop there as a fight ensued among both groups.

Hardik Pandya did not have a spectacular start to his tenure as the MI skipper. He failed to break the jinx of losing the opening match since the 2012 season of the Indian Premier League. Some of his strategy throughout the game was also dubbed as controversial as it did not help out the team. For Pandya, who is a two-time IPL Finalist and a one-time champ with the Gujarat Titans, it could be rather embarrassing for him as he lost in his opening clash
