In IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians, the five-time champions, made a big decision by replacing their long-time captain Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya. However, under Hardik’s leadership, Mumbai struggled, winning only four matches and finishing at the bottom of the points table.
Now, as IPL 2025 approaches, Mumbai Indians are set to reappoint Rohit Sharma as their captain. Rohit, who led India to victory in the T20 World Cup 2024, has been the most successful captain in IPL history, guiding Mumbai to five titles since he took over in 2013.
Alongside Rohit, Suryakumar Yadav is expected to be named the vice-captain. Suryakumar has impressed with his leadership skills, making him a strong choice for the role.
Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya, who captained Mumbai in IPL 2024, might continue as a player in the team. Before joining Gujarat Titans in 2022, Hardik was a key player for Mumbai Indians.
As the IPL 2025 mega auction approaches in December, Mumbai Indians are likely to retain key players like Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Tim David, while releasing others from the squad.
