Why did Mumbai Indians replace Rohit Sharma as Mumbai Indians Captain?
As per the reports Mumbai Indians decided to transfer leadership reins to Hardik Pandya because he had laid a condition that he would come back to the franchise only if the management gave him the captaincy. He also accepted the trade deal at a whopping price of 12 crore. It was clear that the franchise desperately wanted Hardik Pandya back at the helm of affairs & so they took the drastic decision of replacing Rohit Sharma as Mumbai Indians Captain.
Pandya who was appointed as Rohit Sharma’s deputy at the ODI World Cup 2023 became an integral part of team India’s leadership group after guiding Gujarat Titans to title triumph in their debut season. Hardik’s captaincy excellence extended to IPL 2023 as he guided Gujarat Titans to the finals where they lost to Chennai Super Kings. Hardik Pandya’s success as a leader has propelled Mumbai Indians to bring him back into the lineup.
Leading India in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Pandya is also tipped as the successor of Rohit Sharma as their next white ball captain of the team. Pandya has led the Indian team in 13 T20is in the last 25 t20I matches. Looking at Hardik’s success rate as a Captain MI has opted to break the bank & get him back into the lineup. With Mumbai also identifying Pandya as Rohit’s successor, the change in captaincy will ensure a smooth transition at MI.

His Captaincy debut for the Indian team was a notable achievement as the fans were eager to see his prowess in the leadership arena. He will try to improve his leadership skills & become a contender for Captaincy in India’s T20I format.
