In this IPL season, there have been a lot of questions regarding the captaincy of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Kane Williamson. In particular, after the loss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), many veterans criticized Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Kane Williamson. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Kane Williamson has also had a very poor season as a batsman. Williamson has been able to score just 208 runs so far this season. During this, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain has a hit rate of 92.
Now Team India’s former veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh has made a big statement. He recalled the incident in 2013, when then-Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Ricky Ponting stepped down as team captain due to poor form. After which Rohit Sharma was appointed as the new captain of the team. Mumbai Indians (MI) won the IPL title for the first time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Actually, Bhajji believes that Kane Williamson, who is struggling because of his poor form, should step down as captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team. Recalling that phrase, Bhajji said that under Ricky Ponting’s captaincy, the Mumbai Indians (MI) were consistently losing matches that season, after which Ponting decided to step down as captain.
Harbhajan Singh said that there are many similarities between Ricky Ponting’s situation in 2013 and Kane Williamson’s situation today. He further said that Ricky Ponting was captaining the Mumbai Indians (MI) that season, but soon realized that the team was not doing well. That season Ponting left the team captaincy after 5-6 games. This decision by Ponting turned out to be absolutely correct, that season the Indians from Mumbai (MI) won the IPL title for the first time. Bhajji thinks Williamson should now relinquish the captaincy and work on his hitting. However, he at the same time said that if Williamson wants, he can be the captain again next season. But the captaincy should yield for the next games this season.
