IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians taking a big decision before the start of the Indian Premier League 2024 season. Rohit Sharma removed from captaincy hardik pandya Was appointed the captain of the team. The franchise had to face criticism from fans because of this decision. The situation is that Hardik is also being trolled continuously during the match. Even in Mumbai’s home ground Wankhede Stadium, there was continuous booing against him. Amidst all this, Mumbai’s performance has also been mediocre in the current season. The team has won only four out of its seven matches. Many former cricketers now want the audience to support Hardik. Former Team India veteran Robin Uthappa also wants the same.

IPL 2024: Hardik needs support

Former Team India wicketkeeper-batsman Robin Uthappa said that all the senior MI players had supported Rohit Sharma when he took over the captaincy from Ricky Ponting midway through the season in 2013. He said in a YouTube video that Hardik Pandya is his discovery. He did this through his scouting methods. Therefore he is basically a player of Mumbai Indians. He recalled that when the captaincy was given to Rohit Sharma, it was taken from Ricky Ponting in the middle of the season.

IPL 2024: Uthappa gave example of Rohit

Uthappa said that at that time all the senior players of the team, Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh and Ricky Ponting had supported Rohit. Uthappa further said that in the last three years both Rohit’s batting and captaincy have declined. I will never question the ability and glory of batsman Rohit Sharma in the last four years. But look at it from the franchisee’s perspective. He won in 2020. And they were not able to win for the last three times.

IPL 2024: Mumbai’s average performance

Rohit scored less than 300 runs (only once). Therefore, there has been a decline as a batsman also. I am only talking about IPL. Uthappa emphasized that Hardik also needs the same kind of support that Rohit got. Hardik is also seeing and hearing things. Surely he must not be feeling good. The career of an athlete is very short. They need support from the audience. You cannot troll someone for the same thing again and again. MI registered its previous win against Punjab Kings, which was by 9 runs.
