For the T20 World Cup, Harbhajan Singh has urged the BCCI to align Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya

Legendary cricketer Harbhajan Singh wants Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma to be in agreement ahead of the T20 World Cup, following the Mumbai Indians (MI) captaincy controversy in the Indian Premier League (IPL). At the Mumbai Indians camp, a lot has transpired since the guard changes. The Gujarat Titans (GT) all-rounder Pandya completed a spectacular move to the Mumbai Indians for the 2024 season after leading the team to Indian Premier League (IPL) triumph.

In addition to coming back to Mumbai for the IPL 2024 season, Hardik, the former captain of Gujarat Titans, took over as team captain from Rohit. MI, who were expected to challenge for a record-breaking sixth IPL championship in 2024, fell short of expectations with Hardik in the captain’s seat. The dramatic change in leadership did not work out as Mumbai was unable to advance to the IPL 2024 playoffs. MI became the first team to exit the IPL 2024 playoff race under Hardik’s leadership.

“He won’t be the same Hardik Pandya because…”

The Indian squad for the T20 World Cup included all-rounder Hardik, despite his disappointing performance in the IPL 2024. For the ICC event, the MI skipper has been assigned as Rohit’s deputy. Harbhajan has tipped Hardik to make a spectacular comeback in Indian colors after MI’s dismal IPL season. We know that Hardik Pandya is capable of scoring runs and taking wickets, so we can expect a different player when he dons the blue shirt. Since Hardik has experienced a lot, I want him to do well, and I wish him the greatest possible tournament performance for India,” Harbhajan stated to PTI.

India would undoubtedly have a fantastic chance to advance if he has a successful tournament. Indeed, his form is a little concerning. A lot of other things were going on around him, too. Moving from Gujarat to Mumbai was a significant adjustment, and the MI team didn’t respond well to Hardik’s return, especially as captain,” the former MI captain continued.


Rohit versus Hardik

Hardik’s MI reached a low point in the IPL 2024, managing just eight points from 14 games. With the willow, Pandya only averaged eighteen for the five-time champs. In the 2024 IPL, the MI all-rounder’s economy was 10.75. The captain of the Mumbai Indians managed just 216 runs in 13 innings. Rohit, Hardik’s predecessor, amassed 417 runs for Mumbai in 14 games. In the 2024 season, the captain of India reached a century and fifty.

“It appeared that MI was not playing as a cohesive unit. Thus, a lot was happening. For the past two months, Hardik has not been free man. To do something exceptional for the country, I think they both—as well as a ton of other players who have played on other teams—will need to work together. It would be more impressive to win a World Cup than an IPL championship, therefore I would implore the management to get everyone on the same page and ensure that they play as a team. In my opinion, it is the management’s duty to unite and triumph as a team. Even in the event of a loss, they ought to lose as a team, said Harbhajan.
