Hardik Pandya, an Indian all-rounder, has been selected captain of IPL franchise Mumbai Indians for the 2024 season. He will take over for five-time IPL champion Rohit Sharma.
Commenting on this transition Mahela Jayawardene, Global Head of Performance, Mumbai Indians, said in an official statement, “It is part of legacy building and staying true to the MI philosophy of being future-ready.”
