Should Mumbai Indians recall Rohit Sharma as captain?': Harsh Goenka on Hardik Pandya's captaincy

RPG Enterprises chairman Harsh Goenka has expressed his thoughts on Hardik Pandya's skills. He also questioned if MI should recall Rohit Sharma as captain.

Hardik Pandya, captain of Mumbai Indians, has been under fire for a while now for his captaincy. Mumbai Indians (MI) lost to Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs on Sunday evening, their fourth IPL 2024 setback this season. As a result, they are currently ranked eighth in the points table. With each loss, MI's chances of making it to the IPL Playoffs are severely lowered. Amid this, several people criticised Hardik Pandya on social media, with a few questioning his captaincy. Now, RPG Enterprises chairman Harsh Goenka has also expressed his thoughts on the cricketer's skills. 

It's disheartening to see IPL's top franchise, get booed at home ground. seems overwhelmed balancing captaincy and performance. Yesterday, Dhoni's overwhelming presence was a disadvantage for him, too. Should MI recall Rohit Sharma as captain, like CSK did with Jadeja, or boost Hardik with solid support and counselling?" wrote Harsh Goenka in his post.

An individual wrote, "Ideally, they should recall Rohit Sharma as captain, but egoistic MI management will not do that. They will keep trying to prove that their decision to bring Hardik was right. MI's campaign was over even before it started because of this captaincy saga!"

A second said, "It's a tricky one for Mumbai to handle. In CSK's case, Dhoni is the boss; he decides what happens. If he was unhappy with the way Jadeja was leading, Jadeja understood, and things were sorted. Do Mumbai have the same environment, or are there too many egos?"
