The 10-year reign of Rohit Sharma as captain came to an end on Friday when the Mumbai Indians made the shocking decision to name Hardik Pandya as the team's new captain for the IPL 2024 season. Hardik was traded back to Mumbai a mere twenty days ago, following two stellar seasons as the Gujarat Titans' captain. He won the team's championship in 2022 and placed second the following year. Even though it was anticipated that the changeover in the leadership position would go much more smoothly, MI only announced the news four days prior to the Dubai auction.
