Rohit Sharma emerges from silence on losing Mumbai Indians captaincy to Hardik Pandya

Rohit Sharma, one of India’s most admired cricketers, was recently removed as captain of the Mumbai Indians. This decision surprised many in the fraternity and was disappointing for his legion of fans.

During the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season, there were instances of fans booing Hardik Pandya while he led the team in the first few matches. In a media interaction, Rohit Sharma addressed the experience of playing under Pandya, stating that not everything will go your way and that it has been a great experience.

There has been speculation about Rohit’s relationship with Pandya and how the franchise handled the leadership issue, with many feeling that it was not handled in the best way, especially given Rohit’s history of leading the franchise to five IPL title triumphs. Despite the disappointment, Rohit Sharma expressed that playing under Pandya is no different from playing under any other captain, citing previous experiences of playing under various captains.

The 37-year-old cricketer received criticism for not scoring enough runs in the previous three seasons, but he showed significant improvement in the 17th edition of the tournament. Rohit Sharma conveyed a calm and composed demeanor, indicating that he takes whatever comes his way and works towards meeting the requirements as a player.
