Former India and Mumbai Indians wicket keeper Parthiv Patel has recently made a big revelation about Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. He says that Mumbai Indians team wanted to release Jasprit Bumrah after the first season, but due to the support of Rohit Sharma, Bumrah remained a part of MI. Hardik Pandya was also backed by Hitman at the beginning of his career. Let us tell you, before the start of IPL 2024, there is some tension in the camp of Mumbai Indians. The team has snatched the captaincy from Rohit Sharma and handed over the command of the team to Hardik Pandya. When the team management took this decision, even Jasprit Bumrah did not seem happy with it.

Speaking to Geo Cinema, Parthiv Patel said, “Rohit always stands by the players and the biggest example of this is Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Bumrah joined MI in 2014, but when he played his first season in 2015 , so it was not that good for him. MI had made up their mind to drop Bumrah in the middle of the season but Rohit felt that he was a solid player and they should keep him with the team. And you saw. How Bumrah's performance has reached the next level since 2016.”

Bumrah, however, joined Mumbai Indians in 2013. In the first three seasons, he got a chance to play 17 matches where he took only 11 wickets. But after getting Rohit's support, Bumrah completely changed. He took 16 wickets in 14 matches in 2016 and never looked back.
Similarly, Rohit showed the same trust in Pandya. Hardik Pandya's IPL debut was in 2015. In the first season, he scored 112 runs and took 1 wicket. He also made his India debut the next year, but his performance for MI that year was disappointing. Only 44 runs came from his bat in 11 matches and he took only 3 wickets. Despite this poor performance, Rohit supported Hardik.

Parthiv further said, “It is the same with Hardik Pandya. When he joined the team in 2015, he was in the news, but he had a bad season in 2016. The thing is that when you are an uncapped player, So franchises release you immediately and then assess how a player is performing from Ranji Trophy or other domestic matches before his comeback. But Rohit did not let that happen. That is why Bumrah and Hardik are such big stars. Became a player.
