Another captaincy change on cards? Before the start of IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians roped in Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans. But MI stole the headlines when they announced that Hardik Pandya is the new skipper of the team. But things have gone downhill since then. Former India and Bengal cricketer, Manoj Tiwary has claimed that Rohit Sharma can be re-appointed as the captain of Mumbai Indians.
It hasn’t been smooth sailing for MI. On the contrary, Mumbai Indians have faced tempest in form of crowd hostility against Hardik Pandya and 3 consecutive losses. The five-time champions lie at the bottom of the points table after suffering losses at the hands of Gujrat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals
“It’s a clue that Hardik is under pressure. If he is not bowling having bowled in the first 2 games, and in conditions where there was swing on offer in both first and second innings, I think he felt the pressure with the kind of reception he received. I want to say something big. I have this feeling that during this break, Rohit Sharma could be given back the captaincy from Hardik Pandya,” Tiwary said on Cricbuzz.

Another Change in Captaincy?
Manoj Tiwary has gone on to explain his position. He has claimed that Hardik Pandya is facing extreme pressure. Poor performance from the team overall isn’t helping his case either. Hardik has been booed time and again both at home and away venues.
“It can happen. It’s a big call because whatever little I understand these franchises and owners, they don’t hesitate in taking calls. They had started it when they took the captaincy from Rohit and gave it to Hardik. Now it’s pretty big when you change a captain who has won you five titles. And now that they haven’t won a single game and the captaincy also looks jaded. Mistakes are happening,” he added.
