Rohit’s Wife Ritika Reacts to Boucher’s explanation
Ahead of the IPL 2024 Auction, rumours started to flood regarding Hardik Pandya’s possible trade with Mumbai Indians. At first, Gujarat Titans included Hardik’s name in their IPL 2024 retained players list but later they confirmed their skipper’s trade with Mumbai Indians.
Later Mumbai Indians also confirmed the trade and named Hardik Pandya as their new captain for the 2024 season. The move makes the cricket community go in shock even though many criticize the move some praise Mumbai Indians for this futuristic decision.
Following Mark Boucher’s statement regarding the change in Mumbai Indians Captaincy for the upcoming IPL 2024, Rohit Sharma’s wife commented on an Instagram Post saying there were “so many things wrong” has gone viral.
Boucher stated that the decision was made to free Rohit Sharma from Captaincy to enjoy his batting in the upcoming seasons.
“I think it was purely a cricketing decision. We saw the window period to get Hardik back as a player. For me, it’s a transition phase. A lot of people don’t understand in India, people get quite emotional, but you know you take the emotions away from it.
I think it’s just more of a cricketing decision that was made and I do think it is going to bring the best out of Rohit as a person as a player. Just let him go out and enjoy and score some good runs,” Mark Boucher said on a podcast.
Rohit scored 268 at a strike rate of 120.18 in 2022 when his team finished bottom of the table. In IPL 2023, he did better with 332 runs at 132.80, and his team lost in the second qualifier.
Under Rohit’s captaincy, Mumbai Indians managed to qualify for the IPL 2023 playoff but failed to beat Gujarat Titans in the Qualifier 2.
