Leader Online Desk : With the matches in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) competition, the discussion about the change of captain of the Mumbai Indians team is still going on. Hardik Pandya's captaincy has not been digested by the fans after taking over from Rohit Sharma. Due to this, the fans continue to cry on social media and in the field as well. Now on Monday, April 1, the former Indian cricket team's batsman has fueled the debate by claiming that Mumbai's captaincy could be handed over to Rohit Sharma after their defeat against Rajasthan Royals.

Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai team had left its mark on the IPL trophy five times. But this season, under the leadership of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, the team has faced three consecutive defeats. Pandya, who was the captain of the Gujarat team, was entrusted with the leadership of Mumbai this year. Pandya led the Gujarat team to the IPL title in 2022. In 2023, under his leadership, the Gujarat team reached the finals. (IPL 2024, MI captaincy row)
IPL 2024 : Mumbai Indians owners don't hesitate to take decisions…
Former Team India batsman Manoj Tiwary told 'Cricbuzz' that, “The Mumbai team has had a bad start to this year's IPL season. Due to this, Rohit can once again be made the captain of the Mumbai team. I understand that the owners of Mumbai Indians do not hesitate to take decisions. Despite Rohit winning five IPL titles for them, they took away the captaincy from Rohit and gave Hardik Pandya a chance to lead.” (IPL 2024, MI captaincy row)
Changing the captain during the tournament is a big challenge. This season Mumbai team has not got a single point to their name. Tiwari also said that captaincy is a big responsibility.
