Former team India's wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel revealed that Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya received full backing from skipper Rohit Sharma. Parthiv even went on to compare the captaincy styles of both Dhoni and Rohit, saying, "Rohit never made a blunder" in his captaincy stint with the Mumbai Indians.
In his interaction with Jio cinema Parthiv, he said, "I think the most important thing is that he (Rohit) supports his players. The best examples of this are Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah came into the MI setup in 2014, and by 2015, his performance wasn't great."
Parthiv further said, "They even pondered sending him back after half the season. But Rohit Sharma believed in his ability, and from 2016 onwards, his performance has been excellent."
Bumrah, who was scouted by the Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2014 season, is now one of India's go-to bowlers in all three formats of the game..
On the other hand, Hardik Pandya was part of the Mumbai Indians from 2015 to 2021, winning four titles with them.
Speaking of the same, Parthiv Patel said, "Same with Hardik Pandya. He came in 2015 and became popular. His 2016 season wasn't great, but MI stuck with him, and Pandya became the player he is today." He added that Rohit brings a sense of calm to the side, which is unmatched.
"The best example is the two IPLs that MI won by just one run each. That would not have been possible if you didn't have a captain who could stay calm on the ground.
Parthiv further added, "When there's a tense match, sometimes wrong decisions or blunders are made. But the hallmark of Rohit Sharma's captaincy is that, in the last 10 years, you don't remember that he made a blunder.

"Even Dhoni has made blunders like giving Pawan Negi an over, but if you see Rohit, you'll never see a blunder. Keeping the process simple is something that Dhoni advises, but we see Rohit practice that in games."
