IPL 2025 Mumbai Indians: The IPL 2025 is going to start from March 22. The first match of this league will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders. The match between the two teams will be played at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata.
At the same time, discussions about Mumbai Indians are also fast. Actually Hardik Pandya is not going to play the first match of IPL 2025. In his place, Mumbai Indians team can make Rohit Sharma or someone else captain.
Suryakumar Yadav will be the captain of Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians, who have won five titles in the IPL so far, are not able to give their best performance in the last few season. In the last IPL i.e. IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians also ranked at the bottom.
In IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya was replaced by Rohit Sharma as captain but the team was of no use. There were also reports that, a rift has arisen in the Mumbai Indians team. However, nothing like this was seen on the cricket field.
Just before the IPL 2025 season, Mumbai Indians retained Jaspreet Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma players. Apart from this, Mumbai Indians tried to strengthen the lineup by purchasing some of the best players. During the title victory in the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy, there was a good synergy between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya.
Even after being the captain of Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya will not be able to play in the initial match of Mi against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on 23 March. In such a situation, Mumbai Indians are sure to get a new captain. Rohit Sharma, the captain of the team of Mumbai Indians, may also be. However, there is no confirmation about this.
Hardik Pandya is out in IPL 2025 because the over rate of Mumbai Indians was slow in IPL match i.e. IPL 2025. After which it was decided to suspend. Hardik Pandya’s team committed this crime for the third consecutive time. Three times, due to a slow over rate, the captain of Mumbai Indians i.e. Hardik Pandya was banned.
Now it will be interesting to see whether Rohit Sharma will be seen captaining in IPL 2025. If Rohit Sharma is not the captain of Mumbai Indians, then Mumbai Indians also have Suryakumar Yadav as an alternative. Suryakumar Yadav can command the team. The first match of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025 will be played on 23 March.
