Sunil Gavaskar was quoted as saying by Star Sports: “Look, he has always thought about the future of the franchise. Rohit Sharma is already 36 years old and there is a lot of pressure on him as he is the captain of India in all three formats of the game. He has just tried to reduce the burden of captaincy and put that responsibility on the young shoulders of Hardik Pandya.” “Hardik can come at number 3 or number 5” He further said, “Mumbai Indians are going to benefit by handing over the captaincy to Hardik. By doing this, he has given Rohit the freedom to play freely on top gear in the top-order. “After this, Hardik can come in at No. 3 or No. 5 and help them score 200-plus consistently.”
