Yuzvendra Chahal, the spin genius from India, is well-known for having a close relationship with Rohit Sharma. Under Rohit’s guidance, the India leggie played for the Men in Blue and picked up a lot of tips and trades from him.
Players have responded in a variety of ways to Rohit’s abrupt demotion as captain of the Mumbai Indians, and Chahal becomes the most recent to do so. The Rajasthan Royals leg spinner has changed the photo that appears on the social networking site ‘X,’ which was formerly Twitter, to an image of Rohit giving him a strong embrace during an India match.
The die-hard supporters of Rohit have been displeased with the Mumbai Indians’ new leadership, and Mumbai has received a lot of criticism on social media for this. Legends like Sunil Gavaskar, though, think it’s the correct decision and might benefit the team in the long term.
Speaking on Star Sports, Gavaskar claimed that Mumbai hasn’t quite produced the outcomes they had hoped for in the previous few seasons and that Rohit hasn’t been blazing up the Indian Premier League as a batsman like he did in the past.
Sunil Gavaskar said, “We shouldn’t go into rights and wrongs. But, the decision they have taken is for the benefit of the team. In the last two years, Rohit’s contribution, even with the bat, has dipped a little bit. Earlier, he used to score big, but in the last two years they finished No. 9 or No. 10 the year before last year and in the last year they qualified for the playoffs,” Gavaskar said.
“Hardik is a young captain who has produced results” : Sunil Gavaskar
Furthermore, according to Gavaskar, Hardik is developing into a young leader. He said his most recent captaincy efforts for the Gujarat Titans validate the all-rounder’s request.
The former Team India opener said, “I feel that the decision, they have kept in mind that Hardik is a young captain who has produced results. Hardik has led Gujarat to the finals twice, and he led them to the title in 2022. I think they have made him captain by considering all this.”
