Former Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings batter Ambati Rayudu has said that it was a mistake from Mumbai Indians to hand the captaincy over to Hardik Pandya in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League.
Hardik Pandya made his return to the Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2024, having spent two seasons in Gujarat Titans. Pandya had moved away after 2022 to assume the captain’s position at the Ahmedabad-based franchise. Pandya won the IPL title with Gujarat in the first year of his captaincy and then reached the final in his second season.
Speaking on the development, recently retired from all forms of cricket - Ambati Rayudu said that Rohit should have captained the side for the 2024 season of the tournament. In an interview with News24, Rayudu said that it would be difficult for Hardik Pandya to captain the MI side on his return as it is a tough job.
