IPL 2024: Rohit Sharma to take his crown of Captaincy back from Hardik Pandya?

It doesn’t take long for the wheel of time to turn. A few days ago, Hardik Pandya was sending former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma to field on the boundary. Now in the next match, when the team was in deep trouble, experienced Rohit Sharma took the responsibility in his hands and ordered Hardik Pandya to do deep fielding while setting the field as per his own. Actually, Sunrisers Hyderabad had devastated the bowling attack of Mumbai Indians by making the biggest score in the history of IPL last night.

Hardik’s decison as a captain put the team in dire position

Batting first in this match held at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad, Hyderabad made the highest score of the tournament by making 277 at the loss of three wickets, thanks to the stormy innings of its three batsmen. In response, Mumbai batsmen also struggled a lot and tried their best to answer this huge challenge by scoring 246 runs for five wickets in 20 overs. However, they fell short of the target and Hyderabad opened their account in the ongoing tournament by winning by 31 runs.

Apart from all this, Hardik Pandya is not able to impress even in the game. Every decision of his is proving to be counterproductive. He put Bumrah into attack for the first time in the fourth over, by then Hyderabad had put 40 runs on the scoreboard. Not only this, for Mumbai, where Ishan Kishan is batting at 261.53, Rohit Sharma 216.66, Naman Dheer 214.28, Tim David is batting with a tremendous strike rate of 190.90, then Hardik Pandya is out after scoring 24 runs in 20 balls playing at a strike rate of only 120.00. To happen is beyond comprehension.

After the shameful defeat, Akash Ambani, son of Mukesh Ambani, the team owner and one of the richest industrialists in the world, was seen talking to Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma is the same person under whose captaincy Mumbai Indians have won the finals not once or twice but five times. Just before this season, Rohit Sharma was suddenly removed from the captaincy and the captaincy was handed over to Hardik Pandya, who was brought from another team. After which there is huge resentment among Mumbai cricket fans all over the world. But now, There is speculation about Rohit regaining his prime position in the team again is buzzing.
