“Chingaari Lag Chuki Hai”: Harbhajan Singh’s Brutal Take On Mumbai Indians Captaincy Row
Harbhajan believes Mumbai Indians will be hard to beat this season if the team remains united.
Harbhajan Singh believes that unity in the Mumbai Indians dressing room will be crucial for their performance in the upcoming seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL). There has been some division among MI fans since the appointment of Hardik Pandya as captain, with Rohit Sharma, the long-serving skipper, now playing under him. Rumors of a potential rift between Rohit and Hardik have circulated, especially after an awkward hug between them during MI’s training session on Wednesday.
Harbhajan believes that if the Mumbai Indians dressing room remains united this season, it will be challenging for any team to stop them. He also expressed that the decision to change the captaincy this year could have been avoided.
“We hope that MI play as a unit, because if they do that, it would be difficult to stop them. For Hardik, and for the management, the big challenge is to unify the team. As much as I know Rohit Sharma, he’s a very simple guy. He will never talk about this decision publicly. But one thing is certain, a five-time champion, and the guy who almost won the World Cup… it is shocking. Maybe, this decision could have been delayed by an year. Ability wise, Hardik Pandya is well capable. But the team will only win if it is unified. That’s the biggest challenge for MI,” Harbhajan expressed on his YouTube channel.
Harbhajan also commented on the discussions about Rohit’s form, suggesting that the former MI captain might be heading for his best season in the IPL. He added that the veteran batsman will likely have a point to prove.
“There has been no statement from Rohit Sharma on this entire saga. He’s a quiet person, he will just move on from this. I think he will give his best shot, and support Hardik and the team. On the inside, there might be some anguish. Maybe, this will be Rohit Sharma’s best season in IPL. Because sometimes, you have to show that you are still pretty capable. Jo chingaari ki zarurat thi, vo lag chuki hai. Ab aag me kaise convert karenge, vo dekhna hai (The spark is there, he just have to start the fire),” he added.
MI will play against Hardik’s former team Gujarat Titans in their opening match on Sunday, March 24.
