Amidst MI’s trade negotiations with GT, Srikkanth makes a bold prediction for Rohit: “Mumbai will make Hardik”

Even if Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Hardik Pandya signs with the Mumbai Indians (MI) for the 2024 Indian Premier League, Krishnamachari Srikkanth believes Rohit Sharma will be a crucial player.

All-around player Hardik Pandya is scheduled to make a spectacular comeback to the Mumbai Indians (MI) following his historic stint with the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Before the 2024 IPL season officially begins, Pandya’s illustrious tenure as the head of the GT franchise is apparently coming to an end. Multiple sources state that Pandya would leave GT and return to Mumbai, the city where the white-ball maverick got his start.

Five-time victors In an all-cash agreement, Mumbai is willing to pay Gujarat Titans ₹15 crore for its captain Pandya’s services. Speaking about the two teams’ transfer negotiations prior to the deadline, veteran India opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth predicted that Pandya will be a major asset for the Mumbai Indians in the 2024 Indian Premier League.

Yes, it comes as a big surprise. However, Mumbai Indians will find it to be a great addition. MI produced Mumbai Indians solely. I still remember Hardik’s 2015 sixes against the Chennai Super Kings. Yes, MI required a versatile player. There may be a lot of questions you have about trading. ‘Why are the Gujarat Titans releasing their captain?’ one may wonder. Perhaps they see it from a business perspective. Indeed, it comes as a great surprise as he led them to the championship and the final, Srikkanth stated on YouTube.

“No, no (it’s not Rohit’s end). It concerns a seamless changeover. Between Sachin and Rohit, it took place. It’s now Rohit’s turn to talk to Hardik. The changeover will go easily. Ultimately, Rohit and Hardik have a fantastic relationship. It goes without saying that Hardik Pandya will be named captain. One important person who will make sure the changeover goes well is Rohit Sharma. To prevent disruptions within the team, a seamless transfer is necessary, as Srikkanth stated.
