Mumbai Indians appoint Hardik Pandya as captain for IPL 2024

Mumbai Indians named Hardik as captain for the forthcoming IPL season. The ace all-rounder rejoined the Mumbai-based franchise after a high-profile trade from the Gujarat Titans. He served as the captain of the Titans in the previous two IPL editions and led them to win the title in the 2022 season. He is currently recovering from an ankle injury that he sustained during an ICC Cricket World Cup game against Bangladesh.

“It is part of legacy building and staying true to the MI philosophy of being future-ready. 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,” said Mahela Jayawardene, Global Head of Performance, MI in a statement.
