Will Rohit Sharma be given back the capacity? Former Indian batter hints
Amid the alleged feud between Hardik - and Rohit's captaincy row, former India batter Manoj Tiwary said, "Mumbai's captaincy could be handed back to Rohit Sharma. What I understand is that the owners of Mumbai Indians don't hesitate in making decisions. They called to take the captaincy from Rohit and give it to #HardikPandya despite Rohit winning five IPL titles for them."
He further added, "Changing the captain is a very big call. They have not picked up a single point this season. And the captaincy is also all over the place, it's not just bad luck and the captaincy has been very good, but that's not the case. The captaincy has not been great."
Hardik Pandya was booed by fans during MI's home match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Wankhade during the toss.
When Hardik was booed at the toss during the MI vs RR fixture, Sanjay Manjrekar who was presenting the toss asked the fans to 'behave'.
