Amid many surprises before the start of the Indian Premier League this season, Mumbai Indians gave a huge shock to its fans by replacing Rohit Sharma as the captain. They traded Hardik Pandya back to the side and handed him the captaincy.
Rohit Sharma is termed one of the best captains in the history of IPL as he won 5 IPL titles as the captain of the franchise. Now, with Hardik Pandya taking charge as the new captain, he is being harshly scrutinized.
After the first two games in this year’s IPL, fans are demanding to hand back the captaincy to Rohit Sharma. They feel that the captaincy of Hardik Pandya was exposed badly in yesterday’s game where Sunrisers Hyderabad feasted on MI’s weak bowling amassing 277 runs.
Cricket lovers are questioning the move not to hand over the first and third over to Jasprit Bumrah and holding him back when SRH is going full throttle. By the time he was brought back, the damage has been done.
