“They have their reasons”- Anjum Chopra on MI’s decision to replace Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya
Recently, Anjum Chopra, the ex-Indian cricketer, shared her thoughts. She was discussing the Mumbai Indians team’s choice. They decided to switch Rohit Sharma for Hardik Pandya for the captain’s role.
She believed that such a significant choice would have been difficult for MI, but they approached it with a long-term perspective.
“A player’s job is to play the game. You always walk into a team as a player. You never walk into a team as a captain. How we are seeing from the outside, how the franchise is looking at it from the inside, and now players are looking at it, they have their reasons. It wouldn’t have been easy to replace a player and captain of Rohit Sharma’s stature. But someday that will happen.”
Anjum Chopra
Explaining her point of view, Anjum Chopra continued:
“When Rohit was given captaincy for Mumbai Indians, it wouldn’t have been a very easy decision. At that time many stalwarts and experienced players were playing and Rohit Sharma was given the captaincy. MI gave him the captaincy because of his ability and Rohit Sharma went on to guide MI to five title wins. Let’s not run into emotions. It’s about balancing things considering the present and future of the team.”
