Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff says he will not play for Mumbai FC in the Durand Cup match against Nongkseh SS&CC of Meghalaya, scheduled in Shillong.
Both outlets report that Shroff’s plan to feature for the club is put on hold for the group match. India Today and NDTV cite his stated reason for not taking part, with NDTV framing it as a pause to his “Durand Cup dream” for Mumbai FC. The reports focus on Shroff’s decision and the specific fixture, rather than detailing team selection or performance-related factors. The information centers on his participation status for that particular game.
The two articles align on the opponent (Nongkseh SS&CC of Meghalaya) and the venue (Shillong) for Mumbai FC’s Durand Cup group match, while differing only in how they describe the situation—India Today with a direct explanation for why he will not play, and NDTV with a narrative emphasis on the delayed opportunity.
