The Mumbai Indians' captain for the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season is Hardik Pandya, who was appointed on Friday. With this, Rohit Sharma's ten-year career as MI captain came to an end. Rohit guided the team to five IPL titles while serving as captain. In a stunning switch from the Gujarat Titans, Pandya rejoined the MI squad. The all-around player led GT to victory with the team in 2022 and did it for the previous two seasons.

The Mumbai Indians' global head of performance, Mahela Jayawardene, commented on the change, saying, "It is part of the legacy and MI's philosophy to be future-ready and to stay true." From Sachin to Harbhajan and Ricky to Rohit, the Mumbai Indians have been fortunate to have had outstanding leaders who have not only contributed to the team's immediate success but also always looked to develop it for the future. Hardik Pandya will become leadership of the Mumbai Indians during the 2024 Indian Premier League season in keeping with this ideology."

"We appreciate Rohit Sharma's outstanding leadership; since 2013, he has led the Mumbai Indians in a way that is truly remarkable. In addition to bringing the club unmatched success, his leadership has solidified his status as one of the greatest captains in IPL history. MI has developed into one of the most prosperous and well-liked teams in history under his direction. To further enhance MI, we look forward to his leadership and experience both on and off the pitch."

"We welcome Hardik Pandya as the new captain of MI and wish him the very best."
