If you were offered hike and top role like Hardik Pandya, would you take it?
Considering you had great stint in the same company previously, achieved results for the current company

Players like Bumrah, Jadeja, Rinku Singh for same franchise despite having chance to earn double in another teams. Players definitely tend to value team ethics and fans connection, reason for Kohli sticking with a losing team.
Hardik Pandya case is not that simple, He was groomed in MI then went to GT, no one objected that. But after going there he made comments about MI not being so great team. Then after winning with GT, again made switch MI on only condition of Captaincy. That’s where the problem started. They should have handled the transition gracefully. But they refused to even answer why Rohit was removed from Captaincy, avoided questions in Conference, even when matches going he is paying much attention to Bumrah/Rohit advice. In yday match, despite Rohit 100 he didn’t mention even once about him. It’s not simple corporate switch, fans emotions comes into play, but this would fade away soon.

I didn't know he spoke ill of MI. Somehow this setup didn't sit right with me. I'm not a Rohit fan but felt it was disrespectful to him

Kinda feeling bad for having judged him, it was a pure professional growth stance. We associate a lot of emotion with this game 😥
