MUMBAI: Mumbai Indians with new captain for the Indian Premier League 2024 season. All-rounder Hardik Pandya has been appointed as the captain, replacing the current captain Rohit Sharma. Hardik, who left the team two seasons ago, was brought back this season. The explanation given by the management is that the new decision is for the future of the team.

The decision is very disappointing for Mumbai Indians and Rohit Sharma fans. Mumbai, who played the first five seasons without a title in the IPL, was later crowned five times under the captaincy of Rohit. It was not at all expected that Rohit, who is described as the best captain in the history of IPL, would be removed from the captaincy by the management.

Mumbai Indians have removed Rohit from the captaincy while he is still the captain of the Indian team. Earlier there were rumors that Rohit was against bringing Hardik Pandya to Mumbai after giving Cameron Green to RCB. Hardik Pandya had publicly disowned Mumbai after leaving the team earlier.
