The Mumbai Indians team will never want to remember their IPL 2024 performance. Mumbai Indians were surrounded by controversies even before the season and its impact was visible on their results. Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians finished last in the points table of IPL 2024. The team registered only four wins in 14 matches while it faced defeat in 10.
Former Indian team off-spinner Harbhajan Singh made a big revelation while reviewing the performance of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. Harbhajan Singh was also a part of Mumbai Indians for 10 years. He said that the team management's decision to make Harbhajan Singh the captain backfired.
what did Harbhajan Singh say
Speaking to ANI, Bhajji said, "I played for Mumbai Indians for 10 years. The team management is brilliant, but this decision backfired on them. The management thought about the future by making Hardik Pandya the captain, but it did not sit well with the team.
could have waited
Harbhajan Singh also said that the time was not right to make Hardik Pandya the captain. The team management could have waited till next year for this. He said, "When the team was playing, it seemed that the captain was playing differently and the entire team was playing differently. In my opinion, the time was not right to make Hardik Pandya the captain. Perhaps this decision could have been taken after a year.
Bhajji supported Pandya
39-year-old Harbhajan Singh defended Hardik Pandya. The former off-spinner said, "It was not Hardik Pandya's fault because he was also the captain of Gujarat Titans. The team did not play united and the senior players should have ensured that the team remained united and the team atmosphere remained good.
what was the dispute?
Recall that before the IPL 2024 season, Mumbai Indians had removed Rohit Sharma and made Hardik Pandya the captain. Rohit Sharma made Mumbai IPL champion 5 times under his captaincy and the fans did not like the decision to suddenly remove him from the captaincy. Hardik Pandya had to face severe criticism from the fans and the team's performance in the current season was very disappointing.
