I think it's purely just a transitional phase, you know, the game of cricket. Mumbai Indians moves on forward. The road's been fantastic for us. He's [Hardik Pandya] been a stalwart for Mumbai Indians. He's done really well. This is just a decision that is made by us to move forward and get into a transition phase with a new captain. And if we take all the emotions aside and all that type of stuff, that's simply what it is all about," Mark Boucher on MI leadrship."Can I say anything about it? I'm not too sure. I've heard rumours via social media and all that type of stuff, but I'm not really into social media stuff. As far as I can say is that it was handled by us in the best way possible. We understand there are emotions around everything but this is purely a transitional phase for Mumbai Indians and decisions were made by us to, move forward and that's where we are at the moment."
