These 3 changes will take place in the Mumbai Indians team during IPL 2026, Rohit Sharma will be the captain, these 3 players will be on leave.

The performance of Mumbai Indians has been very poor since IPL 2020. Mumbai Indians, one of the most successful teams of IPL, won its last IPL title in 2020 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, after that, after the poor performance of the team, Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani included Hardik Pandya in her team by trading him with Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024 and made him the captain.

After poor performance under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya in the last 3 seasons, now there can be some big changes in the Mumbai Indians team. Let us know what three changes the Mumbai team can make during the IPL 2026 season.

Rohit Sharma can be the new captain of Mumbai Indians in place of Hardik Pandya.

In IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians had made Hardik Pandya the captain of the team by replacing Rohit Sharma, but the performance of the team was not special. In IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians team had made it to the playoffs, but that season too the team had performed very poorly in the beginning. Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, Mumbai team has disappointed its fans a lot.

Now the Mumbai Indians team is once again thinking of making Rohit Sharma the captain of the team. As captain, Rohit Sharma has won the IPL title 5 times for the Mumbai Indians team, while he had captained the Indian team very well, that is why once again Mumbai Indians can make him the captain of their team.

Hardik, Bumrah and Surya may be on leave

The reason for the poor performance of Mumbai Indians has been the poor form of Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav. Jasprit Bumrah has taken only 2 wickets in 8 matches so far this season, while he has given away a lot of runs. For this reason, this player can be kept out of the remaining matches and another bowler can be given a chance in his place.

The next name in this list is that of captain Hardik Pandya, who has disappointed a lot so far this season as a captain and player. Hardik Pandya has taken only 4 wickets in 7 matches, while only 128 runs have come from his bat.

The next name is that of Suryakumar Yadav, who has scored only 159 runs in the last 8 matches at an average of 19.88. Now the Mumbai Indians team can take some big decisions to make it to the playoffs of IPL 2026 and show these players the way out of the Mumbai Indians.
