‘Rohit Sharma Returning to MI Captaincy?’- Manoj Tiwari Speculates Role Reversal in MI

Once again Mumbai Indians are in disarray. Although they have never been the best starts, something seems strangely amiss this year. It's not been easy for Hardik Pandya to lead. The all-rounder seems to be everywhere, regardless of the result of games or animosity from the audience. Before winning the title in 2015, MI lost their first four games of the season. The year before, they dropped their first six games in a row before making it to the playoffs. MI has had worse beginnings in the past. However, that was during Rohit Sharma's captaincy. With Hardik Pandya leading the way and absolutely no backing from the fans, MI have a difficult journey ahead of them.

Way ahead for Mumbai:

After losing their last three games, MI will have a six-day break before playing Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Wankhede on April 7. Manoj Tiwary anticipates that the team would have to make the difficult decision to reappoint Rohit as captain in the meantime. The former Indian batsman made his forecast because he thought Hardik was obviously undercutting. Even while he seems happy, the reality that he didn't bowl at all against the Rajasthan Royals suggests that his happiness is mostly superficial.

Manoj Tiwari Remark:

"It's a clue that Hardik is under pressure. If he is not bowling having bowled in the first 2 games, and in conditions where there was swing on offer in both first and second innings, I think he felt the pressure with the kind of reception he received. I want to say something big. I have this feeling that during this break, Rohit Sharma could be given back the captaincy from Hardik Pandya, it can happen. It's a big call because whatever little I understand these franchises and owners, they don't hesitate in taking calls. They had started it when they took the captaincy from Rohit and gave it to Hardik. Now it's pretty big when you change a captain who has won you five titles. And now that they haven't won a single game and the captaincy also looks jaded. Mistakes are happening." Tiwary informed on Cricbuzz.
