Surya and Hardik were long-time teammates for Team India and Mumbai Indians, but now their friendship has ended.

Mumbai Indians got off to a good start

Five-time champions Mumbai Indians had a disappointing performance in the recently concluded Indian Premier League 2026. The team failed to reach the playoffs for the second time in a row under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. After the tournament, it became clear that skipper Hardik Pandya did not have the support of senior players in the team including Surya. Now that the two have ended their friendship on social media, it is clear that Hardik and Surya did not get along well at Mumbai Indians. Meanwhile, Suryakumar is also out of form this year and Hardik Pandya has also faced trolling many times.

Surya was stripped of the captaincy of Team India

Along with Mumbai Indians and Hardik Suryakumar Yadav is also in the limelight as he has been dropped from Team India. Surya was not included in the Indian squad for the series against England and Ireland. Not only this, he has also lost his captaincy. This year, under his captaincy, Surya led Team India to the T20 World Cup. Now Shreyas Iyer has been appointed as the captain.

What could be the reason behind the differences between Surya and Hardik?

There could be many reasons behind the differences between Hardik and Surya. The captaincy of Team India is considered to be one of the major reasons. When Rohit Sharma retired after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya’s name was also in the running for the new captaincy. At that time, Hardik was also the vice-captain of the team. He had also captained the team before Rohit and was slated to retain him as the long-term captain in T20Is. However, he was constantly in and out of the team due to injuries, which forced the selection committee to look for another player to replace him.

After the 2024 T20 World Cup, when it came to Rohit’s successor, Hardik was a leading contender. However, on the advice of Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav was given the captaincy. The team performed well under Surya’s captaincy, but it is being speculated that Hardik must have some resentment as he was not selected as the captain of Team India. He had to play for India under the captaincy of Surya. Meanwhile, in the IPL, Hardik was the captain and Surya played under him. As a result, this clash over the captaincy may have created a rift between the two players. Even on the field, these two have often been seen far away from each other and fans are now saying that Mumbai Indians will have to bear the brunt of it.
