The right-handed batter left all the teams behind then and guided MI to record 5 IPL titles, most at the time (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020).
With Mumbai failing to win any title in the last 3 seasons, management took the decision of handing over the captaincy to Hardik Pandya after trading him from Gujarat Titans.
Interestingly, Pandya started his IPL journey under Rohit Sharma in 2015 and remained in MI camp till 2021 before joining the new franchise Gujarat Titans in 2022 and leading them to title in their first appearance.
Their second outing was also successful as they reached the IPL 2023 final but lost the game against MS Dhoni’s CSK.
Pandya, however, made the tough decision of leaving GT and joined MI to begin the new journey, which did not sit well with the fans.
And then came the day when the newly appointed skipper took the field and Rohit Sharma entered as just a player.
The scenes where Hardik Pandya asked Rohit Sharma to field near the boundary rope not just surprised Rohit but also fans.
