Former Indian opener Navjot Singh Sidhu has voiced his opinion on Rohit Sharma playing under the leadership of Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandaya, who was pretty successful as the skipper of the Gujarat Titans, has been on the radar of fans as soon as he was handed over the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians for the upcoming IPL season.
Speaking of the same, Navjot Singh Sidhu said, “I have played in an Indian team where five captains used to pay together. Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, and Ravi Shastri. Pick up a brick, and you will find a captain both above and below it. There were no issues because they were playing for their nation. The motivation was to play for your country. So, playing under Hardik does not make Rohit smaller.”
Siddhu further added, “Dhoni has passed the baton already, and that could have happened to the Mumbai Indians as well. But this is a franchise, and they look at the performances. They gave it three years, and when it did not work, they got a new person for the job. You need to accept it. But Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni are great players. A dwarf is a dwarf even if he is standing at the top of a mountain, and a god is a god even if they are standing at the bottom of a well.”.
Mumbai Indians have lost their first match under the captaincy of Hardik Panda by six runs against the Gujrat Titans and are set to take on Sunrisers Hyderabad today in the evening.
