The discussion is still going on about handing over the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians from Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya in the 17th season of the IPL. During MI’s matches, the fans kept hooting Hardik and demanding that Rohit take over the captaincy again. On the other hand, there are several speculations that Rohit will not be retained by Mumbai after this season, and there are high chances of them entering the mega auction. Some experts say that Chennai or Lucknow would take Rohit and hand over the captaincy. Recently, former England captain Michael Vaughan also made some interesting comments on Rohit’s future.
Is Rohit Sharma going to Chennai? Will he replace MS Dhoni? Will Ruturaj Gaikwad hold the captaincy this year only? Questions are coming. Rohit will be handed over the captaincy next year. I hope to see him in Chennai. If this happens, it will be heartbreaking news for Mumbai fans. However, not only CSK, but the Sunriser Hyderabad franchise is also trying to grab this opportunity, and they are fighting so hard to get Rohit into their squad. Earlier, Hitman played for the Deccan Chargers for two seasons.
Meanwhile, Hardik had a difficult time after joining the Mumbai team. When he was joining the team, he asked for the responsibility of the captaincy. He can’t be wrong because, every Indian cricketer wants to captain a team like Mumbai. The franchise agreed to his condition and announced him as a new captain without any clear announcment. This triggered huge hatred from the fans. Moreover, through this scenario, it is understood that there has been no proper communication within the Mumbai team for the past few years.
Responding to the recent situation of MI and the future of the Rohit, Michel Vaughan said, Personally, I favor Rohit’s captaincy. Hardik’s return is a point of stress. Rohit will lead the Indian T20 team in the next World Cup. So, keeping the position of Hardik in the national team in mind, it would be good to retain Rohit as the captain again.” He also mentioned that if MI fails to do that, it’s like letting Rohit down.
