shinchan Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Mumbai: Sachin Tendulkar on Monday, handed over the captaincy of Mumbai Indians to Harbhajan Singh. Terming Mumbai Indians franchise as a family, Tendulkar said the decision was taken after due consideration. "The Mumbai Indians is more than a team.ŽÃ‚ It is like a family to me. At this point of time, I feel I need a break from the responsibility of captaincy of the Mumbai Indians. After due consideration, I discussed my intention to hand over the Captain-ship of the team to Harbhajan Singh," he said. Tendulkar said that he had consulted with Nita and Mukesh Ambani, owners of Mumab Indians. "I was touched by the graciousness and wholehearted support they offered me while emphasising that they would accept any decision which helps me to continue enjoying the game." The decision was a difficult moment for Nita Ambani who however, said that Tendulkar was the best judge on such matters. "It was a very difficult moment when Sachin expressed his desire to relinquish the captaincy.ŽÃ‚ But we believe that Sachin is the best judge on such matters and hence, as always, we fully support his decision," she said. Harbhajan will now lead the side in the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League and he said it was an honour for him. "It was a very difficult moment when Sachin expressed his desire to relinquish the captaincy.ŽÃ‚ But we believe that Sachin is the best judge on such matters and hence, as always, we fully support his decision," he said. http://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/news/item/187912-tendulkar-hands-over-mumbai-indians-captaincy-to-harbhajan
Pagalpanti Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I think Sachin might not be playing the whole season probably thats why. Anyway wont affect MI, Harbhajan has good experience leading the side.

asterix Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 So is it good or bad for MI? His captaincy was not missed in CL but batting lineup will be weak...

asterix Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I think this is the break/responsibility, Bhajji needed to revive his career.. A good performance in IPl will bolster his case for a comeback in the seniors team..

Sir john Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 IPL 2012: Sachin Tendulkar hands over captaincy of Mumbai Indians to Bhajji :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
Needforspeed Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Sachin without captaincy is twice as dangerous. I think he will pick and choose and not play all the matches. Sensible thing to do.
