IPL 2024: After a long time, Mumbai Indians will have a new skipper after Rohit Sharma was removed from the captaincy by MI’s team management and handed it to Hardik Pandya. However, Mumbai Indians are one of the most successful franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they won five IPL trophies so far and all come under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.
Mumbai Indians always have quality players in their team and they have phenomenal bench strength which includes a mixture of young and experienced players. The Return of Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians was quite surprising for the fans but the Addition of Hardik makes MI stronger and also the strongest contender to win the IPL 2024 trophy.
Rohit Sharma is expected to have a good season with the bat as he will be playing with full freedom and no pressure of any captaincy however, his performance will be very crucial for MI. In the IPL 2024, Mumbai is the only franchise who have only Indian batters in their Top 5 whereas other franchises at least have one overseas player.
This gives MI team management and skipper Hardik Pandya to include more overseas bowlers in their Playing XI. Mumbai Indians have quality Pacers like Jasprit Bumrah, Gerald Coetzee, Jason Behrendorff, Dilshan Madushanka and Akash Madhwal. It will be interesting to watch how MI will perform in the first phase of IPL 2024 with their new skipper.
