Rohit Sharma Breaks Silence on Mumbai Indians’ Poor Start and Captaincy After 10 Years

Rohit had been in command for ten years but was removed as captain ahead of the new season, with Hardik taking over. Hardik had previously led Gujarat Titans to victory in their first IPL season and a runners-up finish in the following season before being traded to Mumbai Indians. However, Hardik’s captaincy has been challenging, with the team currently second to last with only two wins from six games.

He has faced criticism and boos from fans during matches, including at the Wankhede Stadium. Rohit remarked on the situation, noting that Mumbai Indians have historically started slow and then improved over the years. He attributed this to the stagnant leadership, explaining that although the coaching staff had changed, the captaincy had remained the same for a decade.
