"Let Hardik Be Vice Captain": Yuvraj's Blunt Take On MI Captaincy Saga

Former Indian cricket team all-rounder Yuvraj Singh believes that Mumbai Indians should have given Rohit Sharma another year as captain with Hardik Pandya being his vice captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the decision to hand Pandya the captaincy after he completed a sensational trade move from Gujarat Titans. In a recent interaction on Star Sports, Yuvraj said that Rohit is a five-time IPL winner as a captain and although he understands the decision to bring someone like Hardik, MI should have given one more season to the veteran batter.

“Rohit Sharma is a 5-time IPL winner as a captain. Removing him is a big decision. I would have gotten someone in, like they brought Hardik (Pandya), but I still would have given Rohit one more season and let Hardik be the vice captain and see how the whole franchise works,” said Yuvraj Singh.

“I understand from the franchise’s point of view, they have to see the future of the franchise. But then again, Rohit is captaining India and still playing well, so it’s a big decision,” he added.

Mumbai Indians are the most successful franchise in the history of the tournament along with Chennai Super Kings as both sides have won five titles. Hardik won the trophy in his first season for GT but Yuvraj pointed out that captaining MI will be very different from captaining GT due to the added expectations.

“In terms of talent, yes, he has great talent. Being captain of Gujarat will be different from being captain of Mumbai. Expectations are a lot. Mumbai Indians have been a big side,” said Yuvraj.
