Ravi Shastri on Hardik Pandya: Time has passed since Hardik Pandya became the captain of Mumbai Indians, but now he is being tested. His team has lost 3 matches back to back in IPL 2024. While the team is being criticized after consecutive defeats, Hardik Pandya is also under pressure to win. While some fans are continuously trolling him, veterans are also expressing their opinions. Now Ravi Shastri, who was the head coach of the Indian team and is currently doing the responsibility of commentary in IPL, has also given a statement on this entire matter, which is making headlines.
Ravi Shastri knows the players of Team India closely
Ravi Shastri, the coach of Team India, knows very closely about every player of the Indian team. He has been with them for years and has also been giving good tips about the game. Regarding Mumbai Indians, Ravi Shastri believes that if Mumbai Indians had shown clarity in communication while making Hardik Pandya the captain, then such reaction from the fans could have been avoided. He said in a program of Star Sports that first of all it has to be understood that the team which is playing now is not the Indian cricket team. This is franchise cricket. The franchise has spent a huge amount of money. He is the owner and it is his right to appoint the captain. Ravi Shastri while giving his opinion said that it could have been handled better with clarity in communication.
Lots of praise for Rohit Sharma
Shastri said that if you wanted Hardik to become the captain, you could have said that we are doing this keeping the future in mind. Rohit Sharma has played an excellent role and we all know this. We want him to help Hardik for the next three years to take the team forward. Not only this, Ravi Shastri has also advised the new MI captain Hardik Pandya to deal with the current situation. He said that at this time it is important that they remain calm, be patient, ignore some things and just concentrate on their game. Mumbai Indians is a great team and if they get the momentum going, they can win three or four matches in a row and then this issue will be put to rest.
