The Mumbai Indians, a five-time IPL champion, find themselves in the midst of speculation regarding their captaincy, especially in the absence of star batter Rohit Sharma. With the transfer of Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians, the assumption was that he might take over the captaincy reins after Rohit Sharma. However, former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja has thrown a surprising suggestion into the mix.
In a Sportstak interview, Jadeja expressed his opinion on who should lead Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2024 season. Contrary to popular expectations of Rohit Sharma or Hardik Pandya, Jadeja proposed Suryakumar Yadav as the potential captain for the team.
Here's what former Indian cricketer said:
“Suryakumar Yadav can be the MI captain if Rohit Sharma decides to take a break during IPL 2024 season.”
The transfer of Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians has stirred up the captaincy discussion ahead of the IPL 2024 mini-auction. While conventional wisdom points towards Rohit Sharma or Pandya taking charge, Jadeja's unexpected prediction has caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts. He even recommended that Rohit Sharma should consider taking a break during the IPL season to stay fit for the T20 World Cup scheduled to commence on June 4, 2024.
Suryakumar Yadav, known for his batting prowess and leadership qualities, could be an unconventional yet effective choice to helm the team in Rohit Sharma's absence.
As of now, Rohit Sharma is on an indefinite break from white-ball formats, leaving uncertainty about his captaincy role in both the T20 World Cup and the IPL 2024 season. The official confirmation of Mumbai Indians' captaincy remains awaited.
