Mumbai Indians (MI) became the first team to win five titles in the Indian Premier League (IPL), led by Rohit Sharma. Hardik Pandya has been appointed the captain of Mumbai Indians (MI), one of the most successful teams in the cash-rich league, and will have a huge responsibility to carry on the team’s tradition.
Mark Boucher of the Smash Sports podcast believes that the change in captaincy is purely based on a cricketing decision and is a transition period for the team in the IPL. He says people become more emotional when their favorite player is removed from the captaincy and less stress will allow Rohit Sharma to play more freely for the team. I believe it is.
“I think it was a purely cricketing decision. I could see a period of time where we could get Hardik back as a player. For me, this is a transition period. I think a lot of people in India understand this. You don’t, people get very emotional, but you know you’re taking the emotion out of it.”
“This is more of a cricketing decision and I think it will bring out the best in Rohit as a person and as a player.” Let him go out and have fun and have some fun with him. will be successful. It was a good run,” Mark Buchersaid.
