Rohit Sharma: Ever since Mumbai Indians picked Hardik Pandya as their captain for IPL 2024, a question has been constantly popping up in churches. Now the question is what role Rohit Sharma will play in the Mumbai Indians team. Many cricket experts have been expressing their opinion on this matter for the past few days. However, now Mumbai Indians Global Head of Cricket Mahela Jayawardene has answered this question. Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was roped in to portray the role of Rohit.
Jayawardene said that Sachin Tendulkar played a key role for Mumbai Indians after stepping down from captaincy and Rohit Sharma will also play the same role. The veteran Sri Lankan cricketer said, ‘Having Rohit in the team on and off the field will help us guide the next generation of Mumbai Indians. He is a very intelligent cricketer. I worked very closely with Rohit. He is also an extraordinary human being. I am confident that he will be part of the legacy of Mumbai Indians as a guiding light.
‘This is what happened in Sachin’s case’..
Mahela Jayawardene said, ‘Earlier this happened with Mumbai Indians as well. Sachin Tendulkar playing with young cricketers. He handed over the captaincy to someone else. He confirmed that Mumbai Indians are heading in the right direction. Same is the case with Rohit. We have discussed this matter. Everyone was involved in this decision.
Jayawardene responded to the anger of the fans. Meanwhile, Jayawardene also spoke about the reaction of cricket fans against this decision taken by Mumbai Indians on social media. He said, ‘It is reasonable for the fans to react like this. I think everyone is emotional and we should respect that too. However, at the same time you as a franchisee will have to make these decisions. The same thing happened during Sachin’s time,’ he replied.
