Former India Cricketer Warns Mumbai Indians Over Hardik Pandya's Captaincy
Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary has expressed concern over Hardik Pandya's captaincy for the Mumbai Indians team in the ongoing IPL season. Tiwary criticized Pandya's decision-making during MI's recent defeat to the Rajasthan Royals, particularly questioning his choice to open the bowling himself instead of relying on ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Tiwary emphasized the importance of using Bumrah effectively, especially against strong opposition like the Royals. He warned that if Pandya persists with such tactics, MI's chances of making it to the playoffs could be jeopardized. Tiwary highlighted the significance of MI's current position in the league table, having played more matches than teams above them. He suggested that the team's struggles might be attributed to a lack of faith from the players in Pandya's leadership compared to their previous captain, Rohit Sharma. Tiwary's remarks underscore the challenges faced by Pandya in leading the team effectively amidst intense competition in the IPL.
