Replace a captain like Rohit Sharma It is not an easy task for any team in the world and Mumbai Indians are no exception. The Indian superstar has been leading the IPL franchise since 2013 and has done an impressive job so far.

In his first season as captain, he led Mumbai Indians to their first IPL title. In 2020, he helped Mumbai Indians become the first team in IPL history to win five titles. Speculation is rife that Hardik Pandya could be the candidate to replace Rohit Sharma as captain of the Mumbai Indians after the franchise secured his services last month from the Gujarat Titans.

Several reports have also suggested that Jasprit Bumrah is also in contention. It would be interesting to see who finally replaces Rohit Sharma as captain of the IPL franchise. And while only time will reveal his successor, former Sri Lanka and Mumbai Indians bowler Dilhara Fernando believes Hardik Pandya is a good choice to be the next captain.

“I think Hardik coming to MI is a good choice because he has leadership qualities. I think after Rohit Sharma, he will lead Mumbai Indians, that’s what I feel.” Fernando told IANS.

Rohit Sharma Likely to Lead IPL 2024:

Speculations were rife that Hardik Pandya could replace him as team captain after returning to the team, but it seems highly unlikely. Rohit would be desperate to make amends in IPL 2024 after not performing well as a batsman or captain in the last few IPL seasons.

In 2021 and 2022, Mumbai Indians failed to reach the playoffs before finally advancing to the league stage in IPL 2023. As far as Rohit’s performance with the bat is concerned, he has not touched the 400-run mark since IPL 2019.
