IPL 2024: Claiming that it gets tough as you get old, Yuvraj revealed he too faced such a situation in the twilight of his IPL career.
Mumbai: There has been a lot of talk around the Mumbai Indians franchise ever since they made Hardik Pandya the captain of the side. Questions like what happens to Rohit Sharma now, will he move elsewhere – such questions have dominated social space. Now, former India cricketer has given his verdict on the subject.
Claiming that it gets tough as you get old, Yuvraj revealed he too faced such a situation in the twilight of his IPL career.
“In franchise cricket, it always gets tough as you get old. Every franchise is always looking to promote a young player on whom they have spent a lot, and that is only fair. I have faced this situation too. But then, there can’t be a replacement for experience. Rohit has huge experience and has delivered. But a franchise has to think long term,” Yuvraj told the Times of India.
“A number of young players have been doing very well in T20s. Having said that, there can be no replacement for experience either,” he added.
MI is the most successful franchises in the history of the league and Hardik would like to add to the tally of trophies this year. IPL 2024 is likely to start from March 22.
