Sidhu Advises Hardik Pandya to Learn from Dhoni to Silence Critics: ‘What Wrong Has Rohit Sharma Done?
Sanjay Manjrekar, a former cricketer for India, made history on Monday night when he implored the Wankhede fans to “behave” after they let out what were likely the biggest jeers for Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya during the toss. With a sardonic smirk, the all-rounder seemed unfazed by the atmosphere, suggesting that, even if it was his cricketing homecoming, he probably expected it. However, considering the consequences that MI ultimately faced at the conclusion of the Mumbai Indians game, the Mumbai supporters’ behavior is only going to become more hostile and boisterous. Former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu offered his opinion on the disgruntled audience and suggested that Hardik might win them over by mentioning “MS Dhoni.”.
Speaking on Star Sports, Sidhu said that the Mumbai Indians’ decision to remove Rohit from the captaincy came about as a direct result of the fans’ actions. The Indian skipper at the time had guided the team to five IPL championships between 2013 and 2023. The fact that their idol, the Indian captain, is not the team captain is incomprehensible to everyone. “What has he done wrong?” he inquired. Sidhu also took a hard line in saying that Hardik needs to perfect his combo, bringing up the Sunrisers Hyderabad game in which the team defeated Mumbai by a record 277 runs.
Nothing is more successful than success. Had the Mumbai Indians prevailed in the previous two games, silence would have reigned. “I believe that Pandya ought to concentrate on the team lineup,” Sidhu remarked. “Everyone cries that your bowling is not good enough when you give up 277 runs (against Sunrisers Hyderabad). In a tournament when such high scores were unheard of, how could a team accomplish 277? The other game (against the Gujarat Titans) was a close one. Not humiliated, but defeated.”

The former cricketer for India then pushed Hardik to make “minor adjustments” to his playing XI, exactly like Dhoni had done. “Observe Dhoni’s actions. After Devon Conway, his top scorer from the previous season sustained an injury, he replaced him with the considerably superior Rachin Ravindra. He will be exposed if he doesn’t locate those kinds of successors.” However, Rajasthan trounced Mumbai by six wickets on Monday to take the lead in the points rankings, and Mumbai lost for the third time in as many IPL 2024 games. At the bottom of the list was Mumbai.
