- Big shock to Hardik Pandya?
- Rohit Sharma will become the captain of Mumbai again
- Possibility of sealing
IPL 2027: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians have performed excellently in the IPL. The team has won the title five times. But, after the arrival of Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma had to step down as captain in 2024. During Hardik's tenure, the team's performance has been very poor.
Hardik Pandya faced many big defeats as captain. As a result the team could not qualify. According to some reports, Hardik may leave Mumbai and join another franchise. This then raises the question of who will be Mumbai's next captain. According to the current reports, the reins of the team may be handed over to Rohit. His return as captain in next year's IPL is considered almost certain. (Rohit Sharma)

Rohit will be the captain of Mumbai Indians again?
According to reports, Hardik Pandya may join the Punjab Kings team. Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya can be traded. Mumbai may appoint Rohit Sharma as their new captain for next year's IPL season, reports India Today. The franchise is likely to make an official announcement between November 16 and 18.
Many veteran cricketers had already said that Rohit should captain Mumbai based on his experience. In such a situation, the franchise can give Rohit a huge responsibility. Hardik Pandya captained Mumbai for three consecutive seasons from 2024 to 2026. During this period, the team faced major upheavals.
Mumbai's new coaching staff
Even as talks about Hardik's trade continue, there have been major changes in the Mumbai team. The team has not won a single trophy in six years. This leaves the franchise looking for a fresh start. Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene resigned on October 17. After this, West Indies legend Kieron Pollard has been appointed as the head coach. Pollard has been working in Mumbai for many years.
Additionally, former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has been appointed as the batting coach. Mitchell McClenaghan has been appointed as the bowling coach, while Dhawal Kulkarni has been appointed as the development bowling coach. T. Dileep has been appointed as the fielding coach. With Pollard becoming the new chief, there were rumors that Rohit could be the new captain. So the picture will be clear in the next few days.
