3 Players who can replace Rohit Sharma as MI captain
These players have been featuring for MI since the last few editions.
3. Suryakumar Yadav
One of the most experienced campaigners in the current line-up, Suryakumar Yadav is another great choice for a captaincy role. He made his domestic debut in the 2010-11 season and has been a phenomenal performer for the Mumbai state-side. In 2018, Yadav was bought by MI, which turned out to be career-defining for him.
In his first season for MI, he scored over 500 runs and received recognition from the cricket fraternity. Yadav then followed it up with 424 and 480 runs in the subsequent editions, which was one of the key reasons for the team securing title victories. In 2021, he had an average season with 317 runs in 14 innings.
Yadav joined the team late this season but has made sure he contributes consistently. In six innings, he has amassed 239 runs at an average of 47.80, with a strike rate of 151.26. With a terrific performance in his initial matches for the Indian team as well, he is expected to be a strong captaincy contender for Mumbai Indians.
