3 Players who can replace Rohit Sharma as MI captain
These players have been featuring for MI since the last few editions.
2. Ishan Kishan
The swashbuckling top-order batter, Ishan Kishan was the most expensive pick in the IPL 2022 mega auction. He started the ongoing season with an unbeaten knock of 81 from 48 balls and played a key role, to post a strong total for the team. With this knock, a lot was expected from him but, he has not been able to contribute enough to the team.
Kishan’s last three innings are read as 8, 0, and 13, which depicts the struggle to provide a good start to the team and the lack of confidence as well. In total, he has garnered 199 runs in eight innings with a strike rate of 108.15. His best performance in the IPL for MI was in the 2020 season, wherein he smashed 516 runs at a strike rate of 145.76.
Although he has not been at his best form, he is a prospect for the franchise due to his wicket-keeping abilities as well. Still young, he can fill the boots of Rohit Sharma, which might propel him to do good in the coming years.
