Mumbai Indians face social media boycott after hiring Zubin Bharucha
Mumbai Indians (MI) are dealing with calls for a boycott online following the hiring of Zubin Bharucha as their Director of Performance. Bharucha had previously signed a 2012 mercy petition that requested then-President Pranab Mukherjee to change the death sentence of 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab to life in prison. Many social media users have expressed their disapproval of the franchise for choosing Bharucha for the role.
