Mumbai: Things are surely not looking up in the Mumbai Indians camp after three consecutive losses at the start of the season. While most reckon Hardik Pandya is not up for the job of captaincy at MI, chances of a mid-season swap in captaincy is certainly on the cards. Former India and KKR cricketer Manoj Tiwary reckoned it is possible. Tiwary feels after having bowled in the first two games, Hardik not bowled thereafter is a sign that he is nervous.
“It’s a clue that Hardik is under pressure. If he is not bowling having bowled in the first 2 games, and in conditions where there was swing on offer in both first and second innings, I think he felt the pressure with the kind of reception he received. I want to say something big. I have this feeling that during this break, Rohit Sharma could be given back the captaincy from Hardik Pandya,” Tiwary said on Cricbuzz.
“It can happen. It’s a big call because whatever little I understand these franchises and owners, they don’t hesitate in taking calls. They had started it when they took the captaincy from Rohit and gave it to Hardik. Now it’s pretty big when you change a captain who has won you five titles. And now that they haven’t won a single game and the captaincy also looks jaded. Mistakes are happening,” he added.
MI is set to play the Capitals in their next game on April 7. The match would be played at the Wankhede stadium.
