MUMBAI : Suryakumar Yadav will lead Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League opener against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday while regular skipper Hardik Pandya serves a one-match ban.
Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene did not give a time frame for Jasprit Bumrah's return to competitive cricket, and said the pace spearhead's absence will be a massive “challenge” for his side in the IPL 2025. Bumrah will miss a few initial games of the tournament as he is currently recuperating from a back injury at the BCCI Centre of Excellence at Bengaluru. “Jasprit Bumrah is at the NCA. We have to wait and see their feedback on him. At the moment it is going well, the progress is on a day to day basis,” said Jayawardene during MI's pre-season press meet here on Wednesday.
Suryakumar Yadav will captain Mumbai Indians in their opening IPL match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday as regular skipper Hardik Pandya will be forced to sit out due to a one-match suspension for over-rate offences committed by the team last season. Suryakumar is the national T20 captain and recently led the side to a 4-1 triumph over England at home. However, his batting form wasn't particularly impressive and he managed just 38 runs in the five outings during the series.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma was left fuming after the paparazzi and fans tried to click pictures of his daughter Samaira at a parking lot. In a video shared on social media platform Instagram, Rohit was seen walking towards his car along with his daughter. However, a group started to take some pictures and Rohit quickly pulled Samaira behind him to shield her from the cameras. The India captain was visibly upset with the people and helped Samaira get into the car. When things settled down, he calmed down and even posed for some pictures. Rohit will be part of the Mumbai Indians side as they start their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.
Indian batting star and Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill arrived in Ahmedabad ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The official handle of GT made the announcement on X as they gear up for the start of their campaign against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Shubman will be aiming to make up for a disappointing season last year as after a title win in their debut in 2022 and runners-up finish in the next, GT tanked to an eighth spot finish in 2024, with just five wins in 14 matches, losing seven and two ending in no results.
Hardik Pandya received a hostile reception from fans across the country in his first season as Mumbai Indians (MI) captain. Hardik was even booed by the fans of his own team, who were not happy with his elevation at the expense of long-serving captain Rohit Sharma's leadership being snatched away by the MI management. These tentions resulted in MI finishing bottom of the points table, with Hardik's leadership coming under heavy scrutiny.
Mumbai Indians registered a comprehensive 47-run win over Gujarat Giants to reach the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 final on Thursday. It was a special performance from both Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt as MI controlled the game from the very beginning. Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Tilak Varma were in attendance to watch the WPL encounter and they were seen cheering as the women's team cruised to victory. The franchise took to social media to share a video of the Mumbai Indians men's team players watching the game and also cheering after they clinched the win.
