Is this the reason rohit sharma was removed from captaincy..!?
Rohit Sharma is the most successful captain in IPL. He gave that team five IPL titles. He broke many records personally. However, mumbai Indians made some interesting comments in response to the removal of rohit sharma from the captaincy. The removal of hitman rohit sharma from the captaincy of mumbai Indians and handing over the reins of the team to hardik pandya continues to be a hot topic in cricket circles.  Mumbai Indians reacted to Rohit Sharma's dismissal. Although the change of captaincy was heavily criticized by mumbai fans on social media, head coach Mark Boucher said that it was a cricket decision. "I think it's purely a cricket decision. We saw a window period to bring hardik pandya back as a player. For me, it was a transitional phase. A lot of people in india don't understand, people are very emotional, but you know you take the emotions out of it. I think it's just a cricket decision. I think it brings out the best in rohit sharma as a player and as a person. Let him enjoy his cricket and get some good runs,” commented Mark Boucher.
Also, Boucher emphadata-sized the mumbai team's intention to take away the burden of captaincy and hype from rohit sharma, who has played two regular seasons with the bat to their standards. In 2022, Rohit scored 268 runs at a strike rate of 120.18 and stood at the bottom of the points table. He recalled that in 2023, he scored 332 runs at an average of 132.80, but the team lost in the second qualifier. He said that rohit sharma is a great player who has brought many victories to mumbai and now he is also leading the indian team. He said that now he looks busy and all the cameras are on him wherever he goes. Boucher said that he did not perform well as a player in the last two seasons, but was successful as a captain.He said that he felt this was the right fit for the mumbai Indians team and it was a great opportunity for rohit sharma to play without the hype of being a captain. Also, he said that there will be more hype as Rohit becomes India's captain. He said that the burden of captaincy in IPL will be reduced and it will be favorable to spend better time. Meanwhile, Boucher lauded Rohit's replacement hardik pandya who has performed brilliantly in the last two seasons. hardik, who bought gujarat Titans before the auction ahead of the 2022 season, won the title that year and finished as the runner-up in 2023.
