Backup captains for each team in IPL 2020
With the added risk of COVID, all the teams must have some backup options in the slot of captaincy.
3. Mumbai Indians- Kieron Pollard
Arguably the most successful franchise in the history of IPL, Mumbai Indians have been led by some legendary likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Harbhajan Singh, Shaun Pollock, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, and the incumbent leader Rohit Sharma.
Rohit’s success story as the skipper of MI has been inspirational and the team has looked completely different under him. He has led them to titular wins in 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019. As a skipper in the IPL, Rohit has played 103 matches and has won 62 whereas lost 41.
Despite a brilliant unit, MI does not have too many contenders who can play the role of the skipper in case of Rohit’s unavailability. The most ideal choice for them is Kieron Pollard as he’s undoubtedly one of the most experienced campaigners in this format and has led them and even his national team in the past.
