“I am sure he must be going through difficult times personally” – S Sreesanth on Rohit Sharma
Former Indian bowler S Sreesanth recently commented on MI management’s contentious decision to give up the captaincy to Hardik Pandya. He said that Sachin Tendulkar had played for MS Dhoni and succeeded admirably.
The Kerala pacer believes Rohit could do the same and bat freely without the strain of leadership duties. S Sreesanth told TOI about the situation, saying:
“We have seen the god of cricket, the great Sachin Tendulkar play under Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni). We won the World Cup too. A lot of stories are being told about Rohit Sharma playing under new captain Hardik Pandya but Rohit would love to play freely. As far as I know Rohit, he would look to bat freely, without any captaincy burden, and may take the Orange Cap too.”

He added:
“He has led Mumbai Indians from the front but I am sure Rohit is going to lead Mumbai Indians from the back. I would say let’s be ready for the change and accept the change. For whatever franchisee he will play, Rohit is going to be the same. I am sure he must be going through difficult times personally but I am very confident that he will take it in his stride and will come out as a champ.”
