Rohit played an impact against KKR as a player, only entered the ground in the 16th over of KKR’s innings as Mumbai Indians chased a target of 117 runs with 49 balls.
“You look at his numbers, you remember, we are judging Rohit as a batsman right now, because he is not a captain. Now, I think you can get away with average numbers, and they are the average numbers. If your name is not Rohit Sharma, you are probably losing your place on some stage with those numbers.
“But if he is also a captain, and he is adding his knowledge of being a leader, then the culture manufacturer is that, the strategy that he is, and I see it regularly with India, and I have seen it with Mumbai in the past, I can’t face those numbers.
Despite criticism, Vaughan said that Rohit should not be demolished by the team due to his ex-factor. His performance in the last season was resulted in a century against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium.
“I am not saying that they will get rid of him. I am not going to leave him. Come, leave us for a beginning. Get your flow back, get your rhythm back, get your Mojo back. Because he has not been correct in the first two matches, it needs to be produced in the first two matches,” Won said. “
“And then around it, if your senior core, Trent Bowlt, Suryakumar Yadav, and obviously Rohit produces his stability, the youth can simply enjoy the game. You say to the young players, just get out of there, just enjoy it. Okay, okay,” he said.
Vaughan also questioned the decision to remove Rohit from the captaincy of Mumbai Indians, which was handed over to Hardik Pandya last year.
“I always scratch my head with Rohit Sharma in Mumbai. I always feel if he is very good to be an Indian captain, how is he not a captain in Mumbai? I can always say that because I don’t get it. He is a wonderful captain for India. He has done a very good job.”
“You have to see what has happened in the last few years with a white-ball view. Now, if he is considered the best person to captain the national side, how can he not be the best person to captain the franchise team? He is going to play throughout the season. I have been shaking another pot since last year,” he concluded.
