Hardik out of Mumbai Indians, not Rohit Sharma, Nita Ambani made the one who played 150 matches the new captain

Mumbai Indians: A mega auction is to be held before the next season of the Indian Premier League, which means that big changes can be seen in many franchises. Due to this, a big update is also coming out from the camp of Mumbai Indians. In IPL 2025, the blue jersey team can take the field with a new captain. The franchise is considering moving on from Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma and handing over the command of the team to some other player.

Hardik Pandya sacked

Before IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians surprised everyone by trading Hardik Pandya to Gujarat Titans and appointed them as the new captain of the team. This made MI fans very angry. He was unhappy with the decision to remove Rohit Sharma from the captaincy. Not only this, the team's performance was also nothing special. Last season, the blue jersey team led by Hardik won only 4 out of 14 matches, while they had to face defeat in 10.

Rohit Sharma will not get captaincy

After the way Rohit Sharma was allegedly removed from the captaincy without informing, it does not seem that he will accept the captaincy again. Not only this, some media reports are even claiming that Hitman is considering leaving Mumbai Indians before IPL 2025. In such a situation, now the entire management including Nita Ambani can declare Suryakumar Yadav as the new captain. He has been associated with the team for a long time and has been showing good performance.

Surya will become the new captain

34-year-old Suryakumar Yadav has played a total of 150 matches in IPL, in which he has scored 3594 runs at a strike rate of 145.33. Not only this, recently Surya has also been appointed as the T20 captain of Team India. He has been given this post till the 2026 T20 World Cup. In such a situation, Mumbai Indians would like this experienced batsman to take charge of the team in IPL 2025 and make them the champions of this colorful league for the sixth time.
