Rohit Sharma’s sacking from Mumbai Indians captaincy is still making the headlines months after the decision. Former India and MI player Harbhajan Singh has given a thumbs down to the new development. He feels Rohit should have led the franchise for one more season.
“The timing of the decision made by Mumbai Indians was not correct. Rohit was near the World Cup trophy title and led MI to five trophies, and suddenly, you appointed Hardik Pandya as a captain. Hardik played under Rohit’s captaincy and then left the team to join Gujarat Titans.
“Rohit should have led Mumbai in IPL 2024. I know the franchise must have spoken to him, but I don’t know how happy he is with his removal. I didn’t talk to him. Rohit is a champion player and he doesn’t need to prove himself to anyone,” Harbhajan said on News24 Sports.
Meanwhile, Rohit’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, is not happy with how her husband was treated by the franchise. She openly slammed MI head coach Mark Boucher for his statement on Rohit’s removal during an interview.
Former player Ambati Rayudu wants Rohit to join Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025 and lead the side if MS Dhoni retires from the tournament after the upcoming season.
