Me For the 2024 Indian Premier League, Hardik Pandya has been selected as the captain of the Mumbai Indians. After being discharged ahead of the 2022 mega auction, Hardik made his comeback to the team last month through a trade. This move follows his return. In previous IPL seasons, concerns have been raised about Mumbai’s skipper Rohit Sharma, who has won five trophies, and his T20 performance. It has been difficult for the veteran to duplicate his past performances.
Discussions on Rohit’s strategy in the shortest format have arisen since, despite having strong batting capabilities, his T20 contributions have been lacking. Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concern after identifying Suryakumar Yadav as the only dependable batter on the Mumbai Indians team for the 2024 season.
“Ishan Kishan, who was in the same kind of form a few seasons before, is paying the big bucks. Tim David is now making an effort to take Kieron Pollard’s place. In terms of form, Suryakumar Yadav is a player you can potentially rely on and anticipate doing well, according to Sanjay Manjrekar on Hotstar.
He went on to say that even though the batter looked good at the just-finished ICC ODI World Cup 2023, his future in T20 cricket is still somewhat unknown.
In T20 cricket, Rohit Sharma is a question mark in my opinion as a hitter.
has demonstrated potential in his performance during the 50-over World Cups. However, when you are aware that you have fifty-overs, it’s a whole new arrangement. That is how they bat. Just how bowlers bowl in 50 overs is different, he continued.
Since November 2022, Rohit has been absent from the Indian T20I squad, which has increased discussions about his T20 form. Another level of mystery surrounds the Mumbai Indians’ captaincy choice since Hardik has taken on the leadership role for the Indian squad in the shortest format in the meantime. With the seasoned Rohit Sharma providing guidance on the field, all eyes will be on Hardik as he ushers the Mumbai Indians into a new era.
