The announcement that great all-arounder Hardik Pandya will replace Rohit Sharma as captain of the Mumbai Indians was perhaps the biggest story leading up to the 17th Indian Premier League (IPL).
Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricket player, came forward after the announcement of the captaincy change to express his immense gratitude towards previous captain Rohit and his time leading the five-time champions. Chopra called Rohit “one of the finest captains in IPL history” and said that his ten-year captaincy marked the “end of an era.”.
Notably, Rohit won the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2013—his first season as captain—and went on to win four more titles in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Due in part to Rohit’s leadership, MI is now tied with MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings for the greatest success in IPL history.
“With ten years and five trophies, Rohit Sharma was one of the best captains.” A captain who achieved great success. He is a great squad manager who has a great sense of the game’s pulse. His team always came before himself. He performed every task required of him by the Mumbai Indians, whether it was opening for the side or batting down the order, according to a video posted on Aakash Chopra’s YouTube account.
Rohit Sharma is a very good captain, according to everyone who has played under him: Aakash Chopra
Additionally, according to Chopra, every athlete who has worked with Rohit has praised his leadership abilities. He also praised the seasoned batter as one of the greatest of the modern era.
The most important criterion for evaluating a captain is whether the players who have worked under him or her desire to continue doing so. You are defined by that as a player and a captain. I would like to play under Rohit because, as everyone who has played under him has stated, he is a very good captain. I get my space from him. A period of time is ending. He’s one of the greats of the modern era, Chopra remarked.
