Former opening batsman of the Indian cricket team and well-known cricket commentator and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu has given a big statement on the change in the captaincy of his team by Mumbai Indians. Sidhu has taken a jibe at the Mumbai franchise and asked what wrong Rohit Sharma had done.

It is noteworthy that before the start of IPL 2024, five-time champion Mumbai Indians management had appointed all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who was traded from Gujarat Titans, as the new captain of the team. After this decision of the franchise, there was a lot of criticism in the cricket world.

What wrong has he (Rohit Sharma) done? Fans of the franchise must be thinking the same thing. But what should he do? There is no such thing as success. If he had won both these matches, there would not have been so much noise.
