In a surprising move, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has taken over the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians from Rohit Sharma for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.
Cricket expert Sanjay Manjrekar believes that the dynamic presence of Pandya, with his unique swagger, might create an entertaining yet slightly uncomfortable atmosphere for players like Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav, who may have anticipated leading the team this season.
Former India wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel acknowledges that Pandya will face immense pressure, taking charge of a team accustomed to Rohit’s leadership. Despite the challenges, the franchise’s decision is seen as a well-thought-out move.
