The change in captaincy is, of course, more than just meme fodder. It marks a turning point for the Mumbai Indians, who have dominated the IPL under Rohit Sharma's leadership. While some fans are cautiously optimistic about Pandya's ability to fill Rohit's shoes, others are questioning the timing of the decision.
