Rohit Sharma Will Not Be The Captain Of The Mumbai Indians In The 2024
Rohit Sharma Will Not Be The Captain Of The Mumbai Indians In The 2024 Indian Premier League; Hardik Pandya Will.
Mahela Jayawardene, The Franchise’s Global Head Of Performance, Said In A Press Statement On Friday That It Is An Integral Aspect Of Preserving The History And Adhering To The MI Ideal Of Being Future-Ready. The Mumbai Indians Have Always Had Outstanding Leadership, From Sachin To Harbhajan And Ricky To Rohit, Who Have All Worked To Build The Squad For The Future While Also Contributing To The Club’s Current Success. For The 2024 Indian Premier League Season, Hardik Pandya Will Lead The Mumbai Indians As Captain, Adhering To This Philosophy.
‘We Offer Our Gratitude To Rohit Sharma For His Remarkable Leadership; His Stint As The Mumbai Indians Captain Since 2013 Has Been Nothing Short Of Extraordinary,’ The Release Continued. In Addition To Bringing The Club Unmatched Success, His Leadership Has Cemented His Status As One Of The Best Captains In IPL History.
Back In 2013, Rohit Sharma Took Over As Captain Of MI After The Team Had Struggled Under Ricky Ponting’s Leadership. A Call That Led To Their League Title, Their First Ever. Since Then, Together With MS Dhoni, Rohit Has Guided The Team To Four More Championships, Sharing The Record For Most Captains.
Pandya, Who Had Moved From Mumbai To Gujarat A Few Seasons Prior, Guided The New Team To An IPL Championship In Their Inaugural Campaign. This Year, Pandya And Company Attempted To Defend The Championship And Advanced To The Final, However They Were Defeated By The Chennai Super Kings.
Returning To Mumbai Has A Very Unique Sense For Many Reasons. Pandya Had Stated, “How My Cricketing Journey Started In 2015 With MI, Them Noticing Me In 2013,” Upon Rejoining His Original IPL Team. Looking Back, I Can Say That These Ten Years Have Been Something Truly Unique. The Fact That I’m At Last Back Where My Cricketing Journey Began Still Doesn’t Really Sink In. I’ve Accomplished Everything That Is Conceivable.
One Of The Highlights Of The Player Dealing Window Leading Up To The IPL 2024 Auction Was Hardik’s Trade Back To Mumbai. The Team Had Traded Australia’s Cameron Green To Royal Challengers Bangalore In Order To Make Room For The Indian All-Rounder.
