“Rohit (Sharma), (Kieron) Pollard, ‘God’ Sachin (Tendulkar) are names synonymous with Mumbai Indians. Hardik (Pandya) may be a good player, but there is no way he can match Ro’s (Rohit) captaincy standards. Most Paltans would agree! Plus, he has been absent from the field for months, I believe this decision (of appointing Pandya as captain) could be reconsidered by the MI management,” felt Adarsh Pawar, while adding that he dropped the idea of watching Mumbai play from stands only because ‘idol’ Rohit is no longer the skipper.
