Former India batter Manoj Tiwary believes Mumbai Indians give back the captaincy to Rohit Sharma after three deflating IPL defeats under Hardik Pandya...

But between now and then, Manoj Tiwary expects the franchise to make a tough call which is to re-appoint Rohit as their captain..

After Hardik returned to MI last year, on December 15, the franchise dropped a bomb informing that Rohit is no longer captain..

Tiwary, who himself had experienced something similar when he was replaced by Abhimanyu Easwaran as captain of the Bengal Ranji team in 2019, reckons switching a captain of Rohit's calibre and proven track record, comes with its own implications..

I have this feeling that during this break, Rohit Sharma could be given back the captaincy from Hardik Pandya," Tiwary said on Cricbuzz..
