The Mumbai Indians’ decision to hand the captaincy to Hardik Pandya last year ignited a storm of controversy, leaving fans and analysts pondering the fate of former skipper Rohit Sharma. As debates continue to rage, with doubts cast on the leadership switch, rumors have emerged suggesting Rohit’s potential move to rival team Chennai Super Kings.
Vaughan Weighs In: In a recent BeerBiceps podcast, former England captain Michael Vaughan added fuel to the fire by sharing his thoughts on Rohit’s rumored transfer to CSK.
“Will he (Rohit Sharma) go to Chennai? Replace Dhoni? Gaikwad is doing it (the captaincy) this year, and it might be just (an act of) holding position for Rohit next year. I see him in Chennai,” speculated Vaughan.
Vaughan’s Controversial Take: Vaughan didn’t shy away from expressing his views on Mumbai Indians’ leadership dilemma, advocating for Rohit Sharma to retain the captaincy.
“I personally would’ve captained Rohit. Hardik coming back to MI is big enough pressure in itself, and Rohit is obviously going to be the Indian T20 captain,” Vaughan asserted.
As the speculation surrounding Rohit’s future intensifies, cricket enthusiasts eagerly await further developments in this intriguing saga.
