There was a lot of controversy when Hardik Pandya was appointed as the captain of Mumbai Indians in December last year. This decision divided the fans and raised concerns about the future of the former captain, Rohit Sharma. Fans were also disappointed as Rohit Sharma holds the record of winning five titles as captain in the history of IPL.
Now the fans are discussing whether Rohit will stay with Mumbai Indians or he will change his team next year.
Discussions have been ongoing on social media and fan platforms, with numerous individuals showing backing for Rohit and questioning the choice to change captains.
In a recent BeerBiceps podcast, former England captain Michael Vaughan shared his perspective on the speculation surrounding Rohit Sharma’s potential transfer to CSK.
“Will he (Rohit Sharma) go to Chennai? Replace Dhoni? Gaikwad is doing it (the captaincy) this year, and it might be just (an act of) holding position for Rohit next year. I see him in Chennai,” Vaughan speculated.
Talking further, Vaughan has said that he still thinks Rohit Sharma should have been the captain of the team.
The former England captain said, “I personally would’ve captained Rohit. Hardik coming back to MI is big enough pressure in itself, and Rohit is obviously going to be the Indian T20 captain.”
