Why does MI want to remove Hardik Pandya from captaincy?
After continuous poor performance in the last three seasons under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, the franchise now wants to move forward from him. According to the report, when Mumbai Indians were struggling in the last IPL season, the team management wanted Rohit to take over the captaincy in place of Pandya. The performance of Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Pandya has been very disappointing. Under Pandya’s captaincy, MI has lost 10 out of 14 matches.
Rohit performed brilliantly under captaincy
The performance of Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been excellent. He has made the franchise one of the most successful teams of IPL. Under the leadership of Rohit, the team has won a total of five IPL titles. He has made the team champion in the years 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. Now in such a situation, Rohit can once again be seen taking over the captaincy of Mumbai Indians for the upcoming IPL 2027.
