Rohit Sharma will have to come forward… Giants angry at the continuous criticism of Hardik Pandya

The campaign of five-time winners Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 has had a very poor start. Under the leadership of new captain Hardik Pandya, the team has lost its first three matches and is currently in the last position in the points table of IPL 2024. For this reason, the new captain of Mumbai Indians Hardik Pandya is constantly being criticized. Even at the Wankhede Stadium, he had to face booing from the home crowd. On this, former Australia captain Michael Clarke clearly says that Rohit Sharma should come forward and support him.

Michael Clarke said during a conversation on ESPN that I think Rohit Sharma will have to come forward and support Hardik Pandya by saying something publicly. I am well aware that this happens in sports, it is not right for the home crowd to boo. Well, it is not that Hardik Pandya himself has decided to become the captain. Mumbai Indians brought him back and handed over the captaincy.

Michael Clarke commented that Rohit Sharma will also need to score runs for the Mumbai Indians in response to Hardik Pandya's sluggish run-scoring. Hopefully, Hardik and Rohit are doing well, he said. Superb lad Rohit is an excellent player. Maybe Rohit needs to score runs for Mumbai too. There is always room for success, but if you are MI, then definitely record some victories. It is anticipated that the supporters will back Hardik Pandya, who will also need to perform well.

Michael Clarke mentioned at this point that he had to deal with jeers from the crowd at one point while recalling his days as captain. I was booed once at Gabba when I was captain of Australia. The fans booed me as I came to bat. After this, when I scored 100 runs and walked towards the pavilion, the same spectators stood up and clapped for me.
