IPL 2024: 'Emotional decision...' - Jayawardene on Mumbai's captaincy

Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai Indians' Global Head of Cricket, admitted that replacing Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as the team's captain was a tough decision but termed it a necessary call with future in mind. Pandya's return to MI as captain had evoked sharp responses from the teams' fan base, but Jayawardene asserted that Rohit will remain an integral part of the side. "It was a tough decision. It was emotional, to be honest. It's fair on the fans as well (to react). I think everyone is emotional and we have to respect that as well. But at the same time, as a franchise, you have to make those decisions," Jayawardene told JIO Cinema. The former Sri Lanka captain said the decision was made after meaningful conversations. "The legacy is something we want to build on and make sure we keep fighting for those wins, those trophies. That's the focus going ahead. "Probably, everyone in their eyes will think it is too soon, but it is a decision we had to make at some point," Jayawardene

Pandya recently returned to Mumbai Indians and has been appointed as the skipper of the five-time champions. "To replace a player like Hardik Pandya is difficult considering his talent and experience. We have seen how he (Gill) has shaped up in the past three-four years. He is 24-25 years of age but he has a good head on his shoulders," Nehra said in a virtual post-auction press meet on Tuesday night. The former India pacer said the franchise will back Gill irrespective of the results in the next edition of the IPL. "We believe in him. That is why we made him captain. I am not someone who will always go by results. Yes, results are important but when you come to captaincy you have to look at other things also. We are confident that Gill is the right person (for ...
