In an unexpected turn of events, the Mumbai Indians franchise has decided to appoint Hardik Pandya as the captain for the upcoming 17th season of the IPL, taking over from Rohit Sharma. This decision has stirred a sense of dissatisfaction among the Mumbai Indians fan base. Since this change in leadership, Mumbai Indians have faced defeats in their first three matches against Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals, intensifying criticism towards Hardik Pandya.
A recent report by 'NEWS 24' suggests growing discontent from Rohit Sharma towards the Mumbai Indians franchise. The report also speculates that Rohit Sharma might part ways with Mumbai Indians post the 17th season. Additionally, it indicates that senior players like Jasprit Bumrah and the dynamic Surya Kumar Yadav are contemplating their future with the team.
Rohit Sharma, a seasoned player and a successful captain, has led Mumbai Indians to IPL glory five times. However, under Hardik's captaincy, the team has yet to open their victory account this season. With Hardik at the helm, it seems the team is not leveraging the extensive experience both he and Rohit bring to the table. According to 'NEWS 24', discussions might be underway to reinstate Rohit as the captain, giving Hardik two more matches to improve his performance and lead the team to victory, both as a player and a leader. However, it's important to note that these are mere rumors, and there has been no official confirmation regarding these developments.
