After trading in Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans (GT), Mumbai Indians (MI) bought South Africa pacer Gerald Coetzee as their first buy at the IPL Players Auction 2024. Coetzee, who had a base price of Rs 2 crore, went to MI for Rs 5 crore after bidding wars with RCB and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Cricket fans around the world were taken aback by the news of all-rounder Hardik Pandya replacing Rohit Sharma as the skipper of Mumbai Indians, for the upcoming season of IPL. Hardik was traded back to Mumbai Indians from Gujarat Titans at a price of Rs 15 crore. However, in a recent development, it was announced that the all-rounder will also be leading the five-time champions in IPL 2024. Several fans and former cricketers expressed disappointment over this decision and supported Rohit, who has led MI to the title five times.
Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood, who has been tipped to create ripples in auction room, will be available for IPL 2024 only from the first week of May, as per the BCCI intimation to the teams. Hazlewood, who played an integral role in Australia's recent ODI World Cup win, will be away in March and April as the pacer and his wife are expecting their first child.

Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians find themselves high on the trending charts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) even since the 'captaincy change' in the franchise was announced. Since Hardik Pandya replaced Rohit Sharma as the skipper for the IPL 2024 season, plenty has been said and written about the said leadership change. While many remain unhappy with the franchise over this change, there are those too who are spreading varied rumours. One such rumour that spread like wildfire on social media was Sachin Tendulkar quitting Mumbai Indians.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Auction will take place on December 19 in Dubai. While the upcoming IPL season is likely to be scheduled for March next year, teams have already started endeavours to strengthen their respective squads. Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) have signalled their intent by securing the services of all-rounder Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans in an all-cash deal. The return of the talented all-rounder, known for his explosive batting and bowling, adds depth to the Mumbai Indians' line-up.
Mumbai Indians' decision to replace skipper Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season remains the most talked-about topic in the cricketing world. Rohit, who led the Indian team phenomenally in the Cricket World Cup 2023, only to lose the final to Australia, would no longer be at the helm when MI will take to the field in the IPL next season. But, Indian cricket great Sunil Gavaskar doesn't think this is a move that should make people get into 'rights and wrongs'.
Ever since Mumbai Indians announced the decision to replace Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as the franchise's skipper, the captaincy change has been one of the most talked-about topics on social media. While some fans are upset to see the captaincy responsibilities being taken away from Rohit, some have welcomed the 'timely change' in command. Some nostalgic fans have also been sharing old videos featuring Rohit and Hardik on social media, highlighting the times when they played for MI together and those occasions when the latter joined Gujarat Titans.
