IPL 2025 ka season full-on drama aur action se bhara hua hai, aur iss baar spotlight hai Mumbai Indians ke captain Hardik Pandya par. 13 April ko DC ke khilaaf MI ne apna pehla away match jeeta – ek thrilling 12-run ki jeet jisme Karun Nair ki zabardast batting bhi MI ko hila nahi pai.
Match ke dauraan jab Karun Nair DC ki umeedein zinda rakh rahe the, tab dugout se ek suggestion aaya – Rohit Sharma ne ball change karne ka idea diya. Iske baad Hardik ne Karn Sharma ko impact player banakar field par utara, aur plan kaam kar gaya. Karn ne wickets leke match MI ke paksh mein daal diya.
“Bahar se suggestions dena aasan hota hai, par asli decision to field par khada captain leta hai. Agar yeh plan fail hota, to blame bhi Hardik ko milta. To phir jeet ka credit bhi usi ko milna chahiye. Rohit ne suggestion diya, par decision Hardik ka tha,” – Sanjay Manjrekar (Star Sports par).
Lekin Twitter par fans divided hain. Kuch log keh rahe hain yeh sab ek PR game hai aur asli mastermind to Rohit hi hain.
“We all know how PR works. Yeh pura game @sanjaymanjrekar ka hai. Har koi jaanta hai ki Mumbai ne match Rohit ki wajah se jeeta,” – @Sajalsinha0264 (via Twitter).
Manjrekar ne emphasize kiya ki Hardik emotionally invested the is match mein. Team ke performance se woh kaafi affected rahe hain, aur is jeet ka asli credit unhi ko milna chahiye.
“Bahar se advice dena easy hai, par final call captain ki hoti hai. Hardik ne sab kuch sahi handle kiya. Social media agar Rohit ko credit de, to yeh galat hoga. Hardik hi MI ke asli leader hain,” – Manjrekar.
Karn Sharma ne bhi is win mein bada role play kiya. 4 overs mein 36 runs deke 3 wickets liye – Abishek Porel, KL Rahul, aur Tristan Stubbs jaise key players ko out karke game hi palat diya.
Yeh MI ki 6 matches mein doosri jeet thi. Ab woh points table par 7th position par hain, aur unka net run rate bhi finally positive ho gaya hai. Fans ab yeh dekhna chahenge ki kya Hardik is momentum ko banaye rakh sakte hain ya nahi.
