Former India coach Ravi Shastri feels the fan backlash in the direction of Hardik Pandya might have been averted had Mumbai Indians proven “clarity in communication” whereas asserting him as captain. Shastri additionally suggested Pandya to remain calm and climate the storm with strong performances. “This is not the Indian cricket team that’s playing. This is franchise cricket. They have paid top dollar. They are the bosses. It’s their entitlement as to who they want as captain. Okay, where I think this could have been handled better was with more clarity in communication,” Shastri mentioned instructed Star Sports’ ‘Cricket Live Show’.

“If you wanted Hardik Pandya as captain, then say that we are looking at the future. We are looking to build. Rohit has done a fabulous job, as everyone knows, and we want him to help out Hardik in these next three years as the team progresses.

“At the top of the day, nothing beats outcomes. You win matches, and issues will change. There’s loads of bull crap on the market as nicely. You know, and among the tales are simply planted. A number of it’s simply planted on different folks’s names, together with my title,” he added.

“That communication, that readability ought to have come out just a little extra for all this to die down. So it is not a case of you saying, ‘No, we do not need Rohit Sharma,’ or ‘He was handled badly,’ and all of the issues which might be popping out in social media,” he added.

Shastri expects the tide to turn once Mumbai Indians start winning. The team is currently on a three-match losing streak.

“So, my recommendation to Hardik can be to be calm, affected person, ignore, and simply focus in your sport. Get a few performances going. Mumbai Indians is a terrific aspect. If they get on a roll, they win three or 4 matches on the trot, every thing will subside,” he said.
