As stated above, many fans have criticized MI’s shocking decision to remove veteran Rohit who guided the franchise to record five IPL titles since 2013. However, the team failed to pull out of expectations in the last two IPL editions and fans also witnessed a noticeable drop in Rohit’s form with bat and leadership in IPL.
