Today Mumbai Indians is playing its last match in IPL 2024. This season has been very bad for Mumbai. The team was out of the playoff race for the first time this season. The performance of the team's current captain Hardik Pandya and former captain Rohit Sharma has also not been anything special this season. Although Rohit has scored good runs this season, Hardik has disappointed the team with both bat and ball. Now Team India's former explosive batsmen Virender Sehwag and Manoj Tiwari have given a big statement regarding Rohit and Hardik.
Will Rohit-Hardik be released?
Before the IPL 2024 auction, Mumbai Indians had appointed Hardik as the new captain of the team. But the team's performance was poor under Hardik's captaincy. The team could not even reach the playoffs. Now former Team India cricketer Manoj Tiwari said that in my opinion, Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah are two players whom Mumbai Indians can retain in the IPL Mega Auction 2025 and I have the same advice for Mumbai. I don't keep Rohit because Rohit doesn't look like he wants to stay. Apart from this, the captain of the team should be either Surya or Bumrah.
Sehwag gave a special example
Regarding this, Team India's former explosive opener Virender Sehwag said that if Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan are in the same film, then there is no guarantee that the film will be a hit. There should be a good script for this. Similarly, all the legends of Mumbai Indians will have to perform together on the field. We saw that Rohit scored a century against CSK but the team lost the match because all the players did not perform well.
MI proved to be a failure in season 17
Under the captaincy of Hardik Pai, the performance of Mumbai Indians has been very poor in season 17. Out of 13 matches, the team has won only 4 matches. Rohit definitely batted well in the beginning of the season, then Hitman flopped. Captain Hardik Pandya struggled with poor form throughout the season. Apart from this, Suryakumar Yadav joined the team after a few matches. The performance of Team David and Ishan Kishan was also not anything special.
