Mumbai Indians' game against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium might be a dead rubber for the five-time IPL champs but skipper Rohit Sharma is taking no chances as he made two changes to his side, but Arjun Tendulkar was still left on the bench.
Fans were expecting to see the left-arm pacer make his debut for Mumbai against DC, particularly because Rohit himself had earlier stated that he could try some fresh faces on Saturday, however, Hrithik Shokeen and Dewald Brevis made the cut for playing XI versus Delhi, but Arjun couldn't.
As a result, fans were unhappy with the five-time IPL champs, some of them even going as far as urging Mumbai Indians to 'release' Arjun Tendulkar.
