Harsha Bhogle's theory of fan wars is totally wrong, its not just Rohit's fans but the general public too that was shocked at how Pandya and MI management conspired against Rohit. WE want clean cricket. We wont accept injustice

[@samdevaraj2506]

Agree

[@samdevaraj2506]

Harsh Bhogle has got it completely wrong. It’s not rivalry between fans. What happened was just not right in the eyes of Pan India Fans of IPL. The process and the way this was handled was wrong which has irked the fans - and Pandya’s body language and attitude has not helped also. Hope they address the real issue here.

[@ronnie246]

Not a fan of pandya. But not his fault it's bad mi management. So you're telling me if you're offered a dream job at the expense of a veteran employee will you say no? Question should directly be to management. They could've told hardik no we can't make you captain and if that's not enough for you we won't buy you

[@smartdevil9325]

@@ronnie246 Before accepting the captaincy, Hardik's first question to MI management should have been "How are you planning to handle Rohit, Bumrah & other seniors' communication. What is the plan to keep the environment unaffected?" Was he overconfident that he will bulldoze his way to well established setup? MI management is bigger culprit, but as a to be captain Hardik's role was important too. He demanded captaincy, he could have demanded MI to speak to Rohit first and ask him to step down in amicable way. If Rohit had announced it himself, would have made all the difference.

[@insertname1841]

Ultimately, it's the management's decision to nominate the captain. Not the existing captain, not the fans. The management.

[@iamsid23]

Here is the problem. Mumbai Indians management could have rejected Hardiks captaincy regardless of who initiated this. So Mumbai Indians management should have clarified when this happened. The management isn't getting booed here. Mumbai Indians should honestly put out a note to address the fans since the fans need some clarification

[@asawanted]

No they don't. If you are asking for a franchise to appease you then you are looking at cricket as some entertainment, not a sport. This is management's decision. They thought Hardik should be the captain, they went with it. They are justified in their place.

The whole IT industry metaphor and how his actions were sugar coated doesn't seem right. The people who get the money will always have some justification for their actions that doesn't mean their actions are justified. Fans invest their money and time to watch these matches. And it's very disheartening to see such greedy decisions taken by players like Hardik Pandya. People spend their money and time because of emotional connection and we are not robots. Mr Harsha you must not forget that.

You make 20 crore for 2 months of cricket and don’t care about fan sentiments and still expect to be applauded? This expectation is what is baffling. Not the booing

[@venugopalrao3597]

What is baffling. He is not injured only when IPL is on. His transfer contract had captaincy clause which effectively removed his MI captain and mentor. Rohit Sharma stood up and retained Hardik Pandya after a poor 2016 IPL season. Ambani, Pandya and MI management has shown disrespect to the man who led them to all there 5 IPL titles. A very respected international cricket captain and batter accross formats. The ICC named him captain of ICC ODI team which had 6 India players. The Ambani plan to trade off Rohit Sharma had to be shelved because of his reputation and popularity. But they didn't inform him in advance about their captaincy change plans. Check out Hardik Pandya on Koffee with Karan episode. He denigrates his own parents. Who is Rohit Sharma. Thankfully the captain of the Indian cricket team and not the Ambani team. I know you are under tremendous pressure not to reveal the real story.

I'm sorry but the corporate analogy doesn't stack up at all, Mr.Bhogle. Corporates are not followed by devoted fans who are emotionally invested in them. Corporates are not propped up by an audience. Customers don't care who is the CEO or CFO of a company, most of the time they don't even know! It's different for sport. If fans choose to boo a player, it's their choice. It's the fans who make or break a sport. Respect them and let them express their feelings. They don't need a Manjrekar, Bhogle, or Ashwin trying to censor them.

MI franchise also responsible for what is happening right now, Understand captaincy change was unavoidable even csk looking for Dhoni's successor but they are looking in their team itself , MI has got Boomrah, SKY both have potential and ambitious to lead and win IPL trophy ,MI owners ignored it , Harsha gave example of employee changes company, but on responsible positions companies hired person who worked for them for years , this is what happened with MI franchise, straight giving captaincy to Hardik may not be liked by players and even fans (fans are getting toxic and involved more unnecessarily but explaination needed from franchise ) who gave more time to franchise.

@Harsha Bhogle sir the example that you are giving you are missing point, - when he went to gujarat he was accusing of MI saying that MI bring best players and i am building whole team. - people are mad when he part ways he started becoming bad mouth about MI. - Hardik ask for Captaincy if he comes back, also he ask the same to MI before moving to gujarat that give me captaincy and i wont leave. also in MI franchise Bumrah is already ready for captaincy. as all loyal fans they are they want loyal player to be captain which is Bumrah. Rohit would have willingly give captaincy to Bumrah. even if Bumrah doesn't take the role then SKY is in line as he stick to Mumbai not left. so the reason for boing Hardik is 1 Hardik's hunger to captain MI, 2 badmouthing of Hardik Pandya, 3 hardik's impression in public which is not accepted by all 4 Owners not align team and players, thinking that they can do anything without fan's approval. 5 hardik left brain in Gujarat.

[@thereza9010]

You guys can't accept the truth. It's not about Hardik becoming captain; it's about how this whole thing took place. MI literally insulted Rohit. Hardik left Mumbai to get more money; Rohit didn't leave. He was loyal, and now you are bringing Hardik back and giving him the captaincy? This is a horrible insult. What extraordinary thing has Hardik shown that he deserves to be captain? If not Rohit, then they could have made Bumrah the captain. They just wanted to throw Rohit away, and that is how they tried to do it by making an outsider captain who is literally junior to Rohit. On Cricbuzz, someone once said that to compete with the aura that Virat has, they needed a senior player to be the captain, and that's why they made Faf captain. MI should have done the same. At least give respect to loyalty. Yes, it's not fully Hardik's fault, and he shouldn't receive abuse, but everyone has the right to criticize.

[@himanshushah6087]

Akash Ambani is equally responsible but due to money power he is not getting so much hate

[@TheASH2030]

In GT Nehra was the de facto captain and not Hardik. When he was given a chance as an Indian team captain he did not do too well. Hardik is to be blamed for having passed unsavory comments against the MI team as GT captain which the supporters could not digest. Rohit went through the same phase as an Indian captain but with his maturity and seniority he was able to slowly win the hearts of the players and supporters. MI will see large scale exits next year where Bumrah, Sky, Tilak verma and Rohit would want to exit if MI persists with Hardik. All these players are proven performers and more important for MI than Hardik. So how the MI management deals with this is going to be crucial for the success of MI

[@govindmatondkar7502]

What Hardik/ mumbai did wrong- 1) how can a captain of a successful team that too his home city/ state switch team..??? (Imagine Sachin leaving MI for better pay) --this shows greed 2) what example you set for your GT team ? -- this demoralize the team -- set a bad precedent 3) captaincy claims of Bumrah/ Sky superceded. -- demoralized deserving loyal and exceptional players. 4) team environment is spoilt. 5) taking for granted the fans --loss of emotional support. So dear Harsha..they are wrong on so many grounds..please reconsider your vulgar justification of the move.

Here's what the country knows - MI wanted Hardik. Hardik negotiated, and demanded the captaincy. MI wanted Hardik so bad, that they agreed to the demand. Rohit and the country was blindsided. So what did Hardik do wrong - Hardik negotiated for a position which was already being occupied by one the country's greatest captain who had led India inches close to a world cup victory just a few months ago.

At the end of the day, it is about the audience. You are choosing to put an event to be viewed, judged, critiqued, commented and discussed by your viewers. The people putting on the show don't get to decide the narrative and rules of how the audience should behave / take their content or what (non-voilent) reaction is justified. Unlike a scripted event, it is the audience who decides as they are ones investing in your product.

[@srinivasmirji9294]

First thing I'm perplexed that Harsha is perplexed. Second, the reasons behind hatred isn't just the player, its because of the whole scenario. Ofcourse you take the job but if you are smart enough, you also do the calculation of long term and the support you might get there and it's not just about the position and money. In this case it's evident that he left the franchise which made him and joined another. Then he left that one to join back with a clause to replace who made him. People are angry at those actions not just the switch. And the last, his actions as Mumbai captain didn't help at all.

Totally disagree Ashwin.. His comparison is meaningless

[@Vikfit.]

The difference between sachin, saurav, rahul and dhoni is they passed the captaincy to other player.. Here hardik robbed rohit of captaincy that's why he's getting booed everywhere he goes.. He should have said no to captaincy of MI even if management wants him to be captain and showed some respect to rohit who gave him his fisrt chance in IPL..

[@TheASH2030]

Another issue for MI is that the supporters will lose trust in the team . Loyalty, performance etc has no place in MI and hence the team cannot expect the same from loyalty anymore from its supporters . Transition should have been smooth and with grace as MI was replacing a proven IPL captain who also incidentally happened to be the Indian team captain. Moreover loyal players like Bumrah, Sky all deserved to be the captain of MI team. It was greed on the part of the Ambani's and Hardik who presumed that Hardik would be the Indian white ball captain which did not happen and will not happen. I am sure that Bumrah will become the next Indian team captain with Gill as VC as they are only two players who play all versions of cricket for India. Hardik is injury prone, disrespectful and disloyal with no respect for seniors which will upset the structure of Indian cricket. One simple action which exemplified his attitude was preventing the half century of Tilak Verma in his maiden game. This one action proves how selfish a person he is and not fit to be the captain of any side. He was disloyal to MI and then disloyal GT. He badmouthed MI as GT captain and badmouth GT as MI captain. Only the Ambani's and Boucher can be so blind.

[@lovemore4083]

This defaming, ridiculing isn’t going to stop until he decides to retire from all forms of cricket or change his attitude for better. Harsha’s theory applies only to down to earth high achievers.

[@Saachin10]

I can understand booeing Hardik Pandya is wrong but supporting Hardik as he has done nothing wrong is a big mistake. If you say Hardik as done business, then you can't talk on morality and sportmanship. You are supporting every player to do business like Hardik i.e. no need to loyal with the team. If you are in good form negotiate with other team Bcoz it's a business.

[@chinmaybhide5220]

Hostility shown to Hardik is partly because he replaced Rohit but it is more to do with two things.. 1. Timing - Rohit was replaced just after the WC final loss. Rohit's goodwill has reached great heights post the WC. I wonder if the captancy change would have happened had India won the WC..... 2. Hardik's statements last year on MI using just superstars to win where as Hardik himself was nobody when he joined MI. That has not sat well with MI fans AT ALL. Lastly, Hardik surely has got insane amount of $$ to come to MI.. The thing is you have to always pay a price for everything.. Karma makes you do it.. and this is Hardik paying the price...

[@Freshblood8]

Let’s be honest here, IPL is no more a sport now, it’s an entertainment. People just watch for passing their summer. So fans do connect to their players or teams. There is no mistake from HP or MI. It’s just transition is not handled properly. No one complained when ruturaj is made captain or duplessis is made captain, everything is made smooth. MI is looking for future captain , there is no mistake in it and it’s their choice as they paid the money. Who would not ask for captaincy when he already achieved so much in his tenure as captain and no one rejects such offer from Mumbai, the cricketing hub of India. Now let’s think from the perspective of the fans. Even though pandya bros have so much attitude fans never complained, but HP talked shit about MI and bootlicking CSK , fans could not take it. I am talking about club fans not just RS fans. Yet,MI owners have audacity of calling him back and HP, a greedy guy does have courtesy of coming back. If HP thinks he is big shot, should have stayed in GT and bring the glory to it not terms of cups , but the fanbase , cult. HP doesn’t have balls to do that and still thinks he is some big shot. The issue with MI is, how can they remove all format captain from captaincy without proper communication? Atleast they don’t even have courtesy to do that to the person who brought glory to the franchise. No one can deny the fact that MI is MI , due to the RS, but this not the way to handle it. If MI looked for transition , why can’t they look for the work horses like bumrah, Surya who are toiling hard from many years? . Just wait, RS, bumrah, Surya will leave the club next year and MI gonna sink down further and owners have no other choice but to see their downfall. It would be one of the cricketing stories for ages. Cheers, An ex MI fan

[@Devilgg7781]

Hardik's effort to win over fans with his attitude is clear, but he seems to be confusing his approach with Kohli's aggression, which are quite distinct in nature and perspective. Without consistent match wins, Hardik may face difficulties. It's crucial for him to adjust his attitude and focus on his game, tuning out external distractions.Winning a single trophy doesn't elevate his status significantly. Teams like RCB, CSK, and MI are often associated with their iconic players like Kohli, Dhoni, and Rohit, respectively. However, for GT, the spotlight isn't solely on Hardik; figures like Nehra, Rashid, and Gill also share the recognition.

[@venkatadri1299]

since @cricbuzz and harsha are so defending hardik, here are some reasons and see whether you can answer them 1. why did hardik avoid answering questions related to rohit sharma and the captaincy clause in hardik's agreement (if any). by avoiding the questions he lost the benefit of doubt and now we think he's responsible for this mess. 2.lets say management's decision to remove rohit as a captain was right, then why hardik pandya? why not sky or bumrah.especially when hardik stated "there are two kinds of succesful teams, one is mumbai buying bestest of players and other is creating an environment to players to win like csk." he even said he'd like to be in a team like csk over mi (something along the lines). and both nita ambani (@MLC) and rohit at an interview gave a strong reply by emphasising how mi is making players. but they choose him over sky and bumrah. 3. lets say point 2 was justified, then was that the way to remove a captain who won 5 titles for you against the likes of MSD? Don't they know how to respect a champion caption? look at how RCB and CSK handled that, with respect and gratitude. thats not the way especially when your core philosophy is "ONE FAMILY", everything around this decision and execution looks shady af. 4.lets believe all this hatred is just a misunderstanding, then ask the management or captain to release a press note addressing the issue instead of lecturing fans to support someone like hardik. unless a press an apology note or press release regarding the issue, we won't support hardik led MI. you may sound right by lecturing us not to hate him, but we loved and supported him without anybody's asking. now we hate him for what he did and how he's handling it, and you don't have to tell us what to do.

[@nothngspermanent]

if they had repalced Rohit with Jasprit , i dont think you would have seen hatred. Hardik is not a player that demands respect with his performances and on top his demeanor on and off the field is not great.

[@drsagarkraut]

For the first time I would like to differ with Harsha Bhogle's comments. Maybe he is scared of some things which happened with him in the past. You cannot compare MI or any other franchise with some corporate organisation. Its a sports franchise which is there not only because of the owners money, but also because of the fans who have showered their love and spent their Hard earned money to watch these games. Obviously they are passionate and you cannot take them for granted. The management of MI should have anticipated such reactions from MI fans. Coming to the transfer of leadership comparison. In the past when Rohit was made the captain, he was already part of the Mumbai team. Agree that there is nothing wrong in hardik accepting the captaincy, but he has made certain comments about MI after moving to Gujarat Titans which fans won't forget easily. I'm against trolling but Harsha's comments are definitely illogical.

I'm a big fan of Harsha Bhogle, but have to disagree with him this time. Sticking to the analogy of someone switching to a better-paying job, such a person is not viewed positively either at the old organization or at the new one, except by the people who hired them. The same thing is happening with Hardik on a public stage. So there's nothing baffling about it.

[@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA345]

Nobody seems to focus on the root cause of all this anguish aganist Hardik. First of all Hasha Bhogle you are twisting the facts. Hardik Pandya put a captaincy clause in the deal. He could have come back as a player and waited for his legit turn to be the captain. You cant aspire captaincy by cutting the line. Rohit was ousted unethically, Surya and Bumraah were sidelined and you think all this was absolutely right? Hardik has to step down if he wants redemption. No matter what the media and business house does to cover up Hardik...people are not blind.

I think pandya should be booed and should not be favoured, it’s nothing against him, its against franchise owner and its franchise owner who should feel disrespected. If they wanted to shift the captain bumrah and surya were there. So booing hardik(franchise puppet)is also a way to show hatred towards franchise owner.

[@pramodramatmajan]

There is nothing baffling because Pandya is not a likeable character, he comes across as an arrogant prrick who thinks he is god's gift to mankind. He doesn't show any respect to others so he should not be bothered about people showing disrespect. Having said that, this whole issue is Ambani mis management, they really fcuked up by not taking Rohit into confidence if they had negotiated captaincy deal with Hardik. And instead of surprising Rohit and all fans by announcing in SM, they could have had a PC with Rohit, Pandya, Coach and Management where this could have been announced. Or they should have given the opportunity for Rohit to negotiate a transfer out. But again even commentators like you do not have the guts to speak against the mighty Ambanis. But fortunately fans do not have this constraint and they will express their feelings openly

[@constantVariable__]

He is reaping what he sowed... Even as Gujarat captain he appearred nothing but a Dhoni wannabe who kept on pretending to be calm and cool. Because the team was winning, nobody actually noticed his own contributions with bat/bowl to Gujarat Titans. This return to MI has exposed his fakeness and over confidence. It's rather unfortunate we do not have another all rounder who could show him his right place 'out of the Indian Cricket Team' And i think i should reiterate HARDIK IS GETTING WHAT HE DESERVES.

For once, I totally disagree with Mr. Harsha. This analogy of Corporate Culture with Cricket is a joke. I get it, no Cricketer or a sportsperson deserves to be Booed, but, if you say Cricket in India is a religion, I hope they haven’t forgot that it’s the fans that worship the Game, it’s the fans that idolises a player, it’s the fans that make the players the demigods. So, I think they have every right to vent their frustration or displeasure. Just do not sugarcoat that what he (Hardik) has done is nothing wrong. To be ambitious is no wrong but to demand it ? I leave it to the wisdom of Mr. Harsha. And last but not least, if you ride on the wave of love you get from fans… you cannot hide from their wrath as well. Simply put, he needs to earn their respect back. Until then, do not say things such as he didn’t do nothing wrong at least the outsiders.

[@ayushgupta_4]

The analogy drawn by Harsha is totally wrong....no one in corporate asks that they be made Boss over their senior who guided him/her when they joined the company( they are given position only when the senior gets a respectful exit or the senior himself obliges) and here the shitty MI did not even let Rohit go and that bastard saying Rohit khelega and now his highness is shouting orders to Rohit.... Have you ever seen Dhoni shouting orders at Sachin or Kohli sidestepping Dhoni just because he was performing better and was younger??? This Voice of cricket is now just a BCCI puppet like Sehwag after he was shown his place by BCCI for criticising few players and a reminder Hardik was just a starter when Rohit was captain and a superstar And I agree that Hardik can be criticised and that is the right of fans..It is fans who made him a brand otherwise there are thousand such cricketers but he should not be abused but this is how people criticise others these days Even players hurl abuses w/o any bad intentions

It is not only about switching the team for the money. It also shows his loyalty. Moreover, He gets an A grade contract over others. Why Pandya does not play domestic and test matches? Why did he not play 2 test championship finals? I can understand that the whole series can be too much for him. But, one final he should have played. Pandya can easily help the team by bowling 6 to 8 overs and bat at no. 7 in the final of the test championship. He is not a committed player to the Indian team. Pandya is injured half a year but is always fit for the IPL for two months. That is the problem with him. He is a selfish character who just shows off his wealth on social media. Pandya is compared with Ben Stokes. Stokes has won the 2019 WC final for England. What Pandya has done so far? If Rohit, Virat, and Bhumra are blamed for the finals' failure, then why Pandya is not blamed? He is an A contract player, so he needs to step up to the reputation or take a B or C grade contract from BCCI.

[@ashwintk8180]

Mr.Harsha that is a mediocre corporate anology. Here Hardik panya being traded from GT to MI is not the contention. Here not stating genuine reasons for pandy being promoted to captaincy letting down a campion rohit arbitrarily is the contention. So I think as cricket expert /commentator you should try giving a perfect and valid anology between the captaincy of Rohit and Pandya.

[@anonymous-yt8jq]

Stop supporting wrong things , any person with common sense will be able to tell what was done by hardik and MI management is wrong , just because hardik is Indian and good cricketer doesn't mean we should support him and neglect his wrong doings , morality should be our first priority , if you doesn't stop immoral people on early stages then you will pay high price for the same in future , and if you think it's is right behavior then stop crying and fight for actions rather crying , it's being norm in society nowadays , everyone expect that people should tolerate them no matter what they do and when there turn come they start crying like baby , play victim card , either be strong and fight or stop promoting wrong behavior

[@vkboyauthor]

Ganguly, Sachin, Kumble, Dravid, and Dhoni were all respected on and off the field. But how many people respect Hardik outside the field? Even on field, he does things that don't attract fans. So, it's not at all baffling that the crowd want to boo him. I mean, who'd pay thousands of rupees to come and watch Hardik insult rohit on the field? I'm not questioning his captaincy, but it does feel like he's not fit to be the mumbai captain as even the senior mumbai staff doesn't look like they're on good terms with Hardik.

[@rohitpro1010]

Completely disagree Harsha. It's not about the captaincy change its about taking fans for granted. The way they changed 5 times winning captain and current Indian captain to a person who has on record trolled MI is not justified. Fans are emotionally attached to a team and the owners must understand and think about them in decision making otherwise be ready to take their hate as you take their love

[@rahulbj3]

I believe it's not about Rohit playing under Hardik or a senior player playing under a junior; it's about how all of this unfolded. While it's uncertain how much of it is true, according to the media, Hardik was called back to Mumbai Indians and agreed but demanded captaincy. The loyalty issue arises from whether Rohit was consulted and agreed or not, and if the management made the decision independently. This perceived disloyalty by the management has fueled resentment. Ruturaj's captaincy at CSK, despite being junior to Dhoni, is accepted because of the transparency in the succession plan. Hardik's moves between teams for better opportunities resemble a corporate approach, but unfortunately, sports don't always function that way.

[@deshpandeamit19]

I have been an admirer of Harsha Sir and ashwin sir for decades, always astounded by his clarity of thought and his ability to pinpoint the core issues with precise logical reasoning. However, I find myself in a different mindset this time. It seems unfair to equate the dynamics of changing IT jobs with player swaps in sports. Even if we were to make such a comparison, the toxicity associated with underperformance is evident in both realms. Controversies often arise when employees are not adequately informed about transitions and alterations. It's widely acknowledged that "cricket is a religion in India," and fans form an integral part of this emotional connection. When emotions are bruised, it disrupts the equilibrium of the system. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise to Mumbai Indians (MI) or Hardik Pandya that there's an uproar. Players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah have garnered immense popularity not just for their skills but also for their exemplary conduct. Hardik Pandya, on the other hand, has adopted a Caribbean style of demeanor, which, while his personal choice, doesn't resonate as strongly with Indian fans. His attempts to emulate Dhoni's calmness during interviews appear contrived and fail to convince discerning observers. This breakdown in communication and failure to meet expectations is a classic misstep. Moreover, the decision to include someone like Hardik Pandya, who has a history of recurring injuries spanning over four years and a reputation for being injury-prone in extended tournaments, raises valid concerns. The uncertainty surrounding his ability to sustain through a demanding schedule of 18 matches within a two-month timeframe only adds to the scepticism. All respect to harsha and ashwin sir , but this time I have a different opinion.
