Rohit Sharma got a big shock before the T20 World Cup. After removing the Mumbai Indians franchise hitman from the captaincy duties, Team India appointed star all-rounder Hardik Pandya as the captain for the IPL 2024 season. PTI stated this. However, the Mumbai Indians franchise has officially announced this. Recently, Hardik Pandya came to Mumbai franchise through trading from Gujarat Titans. On his arrival, Mumbai Indians entrusted him with key responsibilities. Hardik, who made his IPL debut in 2013, played 92 matches for Mumbai Indians. After that he moved to the Gujarat Titans franchise. Not only did he make that team the champions in 2022, he made it to the finals in 2023.
Mumbai Indians Global Head of Performance Mahela Jayawardene said on the change of leadership, ‘This decision has been taken with the future in mind. From the beginning, Mumbai Indians rose to great heights under the leadership of brilliant cricketers like Sachin, Harbhajan, Ricky Ponting and Rohit Sharma. All of them have not only led the team to victory, but also strengthened the franchise keeping the future in mind. According to this, Hardik Pandya will take the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians team for the IPL 2024 season.
“The franchise will always be grateful for Rohit Sharma’s extraordinary leadership. It can be said that his tenure as the captain of Mumbai Indians since 2013 has been extraordinary. Rohit’s leadership has not only given the team unparalleled success but has also cemented his position as one of the greatest captains in IPL history,” Jayawardene said.
However, with this decision, the future of Mumbai’s current captain Rohit Sharma has become a topic of discussion. Moreover.. there is no chance of Rohit changing the franchise as there is still time for trading. And with the T20 World Cup approaching… will Rohit be the captain of the national team? Or.? There is no clarity on that.
