In a notable development ahead of IPL 2024, it was disclosed Yesterday that Mumbai Indians would be led by star all-rounder Hardik Pandya in the upcoming season. Pandya is set to replace the legendary IPL skipper Rohit Sharma. This captaincy change has stirred dissatisfaction among Rohit's fanbase which was evident in significant repercussions on various social media platforms.

Considering Rohit's longstanding association with MI and the team's five-title victories under his leadership, fans expressed displeasure with the decision made by the Mumbai Indians franchise. It is somewhat evident that the transfer of Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians could potentially cause unrest in the team's dressing room. Similarly, it is clear in a recent cryptic post shared by Suryakumar Yadav on his social media accounts.

Following the removal of Rohit Sharma from the captaincy of Mumbai Indians, Suryakumar Yadav expressed his sentiments with a broken heart emoji. The current India T20I skipper has recently captained India in two T20I series, a five-match series against Australia at home and a three-match series against South Africa. He has also led the side to victory in both the series.

Mumbai Indians have always been blessed with exceptional leadership: Mahela Jayawardene

The Global Head of Performance at Mumbai Indians, Mahela Jayawardene commented on this transition, stating that it represents a move towards legacy building and reflects the team's commitment to being prepared for the future. Jayawardene also expressed gratitude to Rohit Sharma for his exceptional leadership. Since 2013, Rohit's tenure as the captain of the Mumbai Indians has been nothing short of extraordinary.

The former Sri Lankan batter even said that Rohit’s leadership has not only brought unparalleled success to the team but has also solidified his place as one of the finest captains in the history of the IPL. Under his guidance, MI became one of the most successful and beloved teams. The team looks forward to Rohit's guidance and experience on and off the field to further strengthen MI.

"Mumbai Indians have always been blessed with exceptional leadership right from Sachin to Harbhajan and Ricky to Rohit, who while contributing to the immediate success have always had an eye on strengthening the team for the future. It is in keeping with this philosophy that Hardik Pandya will assume captaincy of Mumbai Indians for the IPL 2024 season," Jayawardene said.
