MI vs PBKS Live – IPL 2022: Ex-India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has admitted that Mumbai Indians’ skipper Rohit Sharma might have taken the same route as Virat Kohli and handed over the leadership to fellow teammate Kieron Pollard.

Rohit has managed to score just 80 runs from four matches so far and his struggles epitomize a batting lineup caught between trying to bat more responsibly to support an inexperienced bowling attack, or play its naturally aggressive game. The five-time IPL-winning skipper is currently overseeing one of the most difficult phases for MI. The team has lost four matches on the trot and the lack of depth in the squad means any solution seems a far cry.
MI vs PBKS Live: Sanjay Manjrekar feels Rohit Sharma should have given MI CAPTAINCY to Kieron Pollard, claims ‘Rohit should relax a bit’
During an interaction with ESPNcricinfo, the former Indian cricketer was asked about Kieron Pollard’s lowly returns – 47 runs from four innings – in the season so far. Manjrekar said the West Indian “still adds value” to the MI setup, revealing that Pollard could have taken up the baton of leadership from Rohit.
“I feel Kieron Pollard still adds value. [Before the season] I even felt Rohit Sharma might leave captaincy like Virat Kohli, relax a bit, play as a pure batter and hand the responsibility to Pollard who is a brilliant international captain,” Manjrekar said.
Meanwhile, MI – who are yet to win a game in IPL 2022 – will lock horns with Punjab Kings on Wednesday. Mumbai would be desperate to register their first win of the season and get their campaign started.
