'Hardik Pandya may have to lose captaincy'

In a show after the match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals, former Indian cricketers Manoj Tiwari and Virender Sehwag together reviewed the result of the match. Meanwhile, Manoj Tiwari said, “I am going to say a very big thing. Mumbai Indians have got a break of 6 days before the next match and there is a possibility that Hardik Pandya may have to lose his captaincy in these 6 days. Be it change in bowlers or change in batting order, Hardik has made mistakes in captaincy and it is visible.”

'Hardik did not bowl at home under pressure'

Manoj Tiwari said, “Hardik did not bowl on the home ground, where swing was available, which showed that he was under pressure. Apart from this, there is nothing fixed in the batting order, sometimes Tilak Verma comes on top and sometimes Devald Brevis. However, Virender Sehwag did not seem to agree with Manoj Tiwari. Sehwag said, 'You said this very quickly because Mumbai Indians have already won the title after losing five matches and Hardik should get a few more matches.'
