Mumbai Indians have changed their captain
Before the start of the 17th season, there was a big change in Mumbai Indians. MI traded Hardik Pandya to Gujarat Titans. After this, Hardik Pandya was given the captaincy of Mumbai Indians in place of Rohit Sharma. Pakistan's veteran cricketer Wasim Akram has expressed concern over this decision of MI. Now Akram said that Rohit Sharma will not be a part of Mumbai Indians in the next season. Apart from this, he has also expressed his desire to join Rohit's two-time champion Kolkata Knight Riders.
Want to see Rohit in KKR
Wasim Akram said, “I think he will not be in Mumbai Indians next season. I would love to see him in Kolkata Knight Riders. Imagine Gautam Gambhir is the guide, Shreyas Iyer is the captain. Rohit Sharma will open there. His batting will be very strong. He bats very well at his home ground Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He is a very good player, but it would be good to see him in KKR.
