"Winning 5 IPL Trophies Is..." - Ex-CSK Batter Reacts After Hardik Pandya Replaces Rohit Sharma As MI Skipper

Right after Mumbai Indians announced Hardik Pandya as the new skipper, they lost over a million followers on Instagram and fans are already not very happy with the decision. The fans have shown their agitation by burning their jerseys and caps. However, former Chennai Super Kings player Subramaniam Badrinath thinks that MI has made the right decision keeping the future in mind.

Hardik Pandya was traded from Gujarat Titans ahead of the IPL 2024 auctions and on Friday he was announced as the new Mumbai Indians captain, replacing Rohit Sharma for the role. Subramaniam Badrinath has supported this decision amid the raging anger in fans as he believes one has to move on and look for the future.

Winning 5 trophies is a huge accomplishment in itself like all things in life, one has to move on @mipaltan have made Hardik captain keeping the future in mind.”

Rohit Sharma took over the charge of Mumbai Indians from Ricky Ponting in 2013 and since then the Mumbai-based franchise has won five IPL trophies under his leadership. Rohit Sharma has been one of the most successful captains in the IPL and has a tremendous record for MI. Fans reckon that he should have been given an option to retire or step down as the skipper but Mumbai Indians announced Hardik as the captain ahead of the auctions.

Hardik Pandya started his career with Mumbai Indians in 2015 and has played most of his career under Rohit Sharma. He moved to Gujarat Titans in 2022 and he got the opportunity to lead the side. He led the Ahmedabad-based franchise to their first title in 2022 and then also took them to the finals in 2023 where they were defeated by Chennai Super Kings.
