Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu opined on the debate surrounding Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya’s dynamics in the Mumbai Indians camp.

Lately, the Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya debate has collected a lot of traction with Pandya’s animated behavior towards Rohit, only snowballing the debate. Former Indian cricketer and commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu has also weighed in on the dynamics between the former and the current skipper of MI.

In a talk show held on StarSports, Navjot Singh Sidhu added his opinion. The 60-year-old stated, “I have played on an Indian team where five captains used to play together. Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, and Ravi Shastri. Pick up a brick, and you will find a captain both above and below it. There were no issues because they were playing for their nation. The motivation was to play for your country. So, playing under Hardik does not make Rohit smaller,” said Sidhu, as quoted by The Times of India.

In this season of the IPL, MS Dhoni also handed down his captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. Sidhu shared his remark, pointing out the captaincy changes in both MI and CSK camps. “Dhoni has passed the baton already, and that could have happened to the Mumbai Indians as well. They (MI) gave it three years (after 2020), and when it did not work (in producing another title), they got a new person for the job. You need to accept it. But Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni are great players. A dwarf is a dwarf even if he is standing at the top of a mountain, and a god is a god even if they are standing at the bottom of a well,” said Sidhu.

Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians camp is struggling on the IPL points table as they opened the season campaign with a loss against GT. MI, therefore, currently sits in the eighth position on the points table.
