MI considered Hardik as India's captain and handed over the command: Sidhu said – BCCI announced Rohit's name late for T20 World Cup.

Under Hardik's captaincy, MI lost all three of its opening matches.

After Mumbai's third defeat, questions are being raised on Hardik Pandya's captaincy. Many different reasons are being given for Pandya being made MI captain. Meanwhile, Navjot Singh Sidhu said in Star Sports Press Room on Dainik Bhaskar's question, Hardik Pandya has been considered as India's T-20 captain and has been given the command of MI.

Sidhu further said, fans are reacting about Hardik Pandya because the captain of India is not the captain of the franchise. Before February, Hardik Pandya was leading the Indian team. For this reason MI chose Pandya as captain. However, in February, BCCI declared Rohit as the captain of the Indian T-20 team, but then he is not the captain of the franchise.

Rohit performed brilliantly last season
Sidhu said, Rohit took Mumbai to the playoffs last season without Bumrah and Cootji. At the same time, the team has expectations from Hardik. Hardik has taken Gujarat to the finals continuously in the last 2 years. Therefore expectations from him have increased. The timing is not right for Hardik.

Under Hardik's captaincy, MI lost all three matches of the season. The team had to face defeat in one home match and two away matches.

Hardik took some very wrong decisions while captaining – Broad
During a conversation in the Star Sports press room, Stuart Broad said, Hardik has taken some very bad decisions while captaining Mumbai Indians. They are not using Bumrah properly. Bumrah should start. When you have a bowler like Bumrah, he should bowl the first over only.

Starc will have to work on his strengths – Broad
KKR player and IPL's most expensive player Mitchell Starc did not get a single wicket after 2 matches. At the same time, he has given away 100 runs in the 8 overs bowled. On this, Broad said – Whenever you are bought at a good price, you want to dominate the tournament, but ultimately KKR got two wins out of two. I think it's quite important because they're winning.

Broad further said, if I were KKR's bowling coach, I would say, Mitch, forget the price, write me your three biggest strengths and then stick to them. Stick to what you believe in. IPL is the toughest league in the world for bowling.
