IPL 2020: Kieron Pollard unfollows MI skipper Rohit Sharma on Twitter; fans left puzzled

Windies all-rounder Kieron Pollard has unfollowed the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma on Twitter ahead of the India-West Indies series.

Pollard and Rohit, whose friendship goes a long way back right from the time they joined MI, have been really close friends. But recently, Pollard unfriended Rohit Sharma on Twitter and fans have a lot of questions.

Going into the 2020 season of the IPL, MI on November 15 released a few players ahead of the mega auction in December.

Released: Evin Lewis, Adam Milne, Jason Behrendorff, Beuran Hendricks, Ben Cutting, Yuvraj Singh, Barinder Sran, Rasikh Salam, Pankaj Jaswal, Alzarri Joseph.

Traded: Trent Boult from Delhi Capitals, Dhawal Kulkarni from Rajasthan Royals, Sherfane Rutherford from Delhi Capitals, Siddhesh Lad to Kolkata Knight Riders, Mayank Markande to Delhi Capitals/Rajasthan Royals.

Rohit is currently gearing up for the second Test against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. For the first time, Team India will be playing a Day-Night Test match. Their home T20I series against West Indies starts on December 6.
