Hardik Pandya was traded to Mumbai Indians from Gujarat Titans for Rs. 15 crore in an all-cash deal ahead of the IPL 2024 auction. But his appointment as captain came as a surprise as Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, and Suryakumar Yadav were believed to be next in line for leadership roles.
Hardik agreed to return to Mumbai Indians if he was made captain
It has been reported Hardik Pandya has agreed to return to Mumbai Indians if he was allowed to lead the team in the upcoming IPL season.
As per a report by Indian Express, Hardik made it clear to Mumbai Indians management that he will return to his old franchise only if he was given captaincy duties.
After much consultations, the Mumbai-based franchise agreed to all-rounder’s demands and informed Rohit Sharma about the same during the World Cup 2023.
Mumbai Indians informed the five-time IPL winning captain about the need for leadership change during the World Cup and Rohit reportedly agreed to play under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya.
