Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have not played a lot of T20 cricket since the 2022 edition, are expected to be on the flight to USA and Caribbean for the ICC showpiece. Former Indian cricket team star Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is set to be back in the commentary box after a decade with the upcoming IPL, has an interesting take on the duo's role for the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Former cricketer Parthiv Patel said on Tuesday that Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah had got the full backing of Rohit Sharma when they were struggling in the early part of their IPL stints at Mumbai Indians. Parthiv compared Rohit's leadership with CSK talisman MS Dhoni, saying the Mumbai cricketer never "made a blunder", while the Chennai captain had erred on a few occasions during his long IPL stint.
Mumbai Indians (MI) are gearing up for the new Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign, under the leadership of skipper Hardik Pandya. Hardik's appointment as the team's captain came after the franchise's bosses decided to relieve Rohit Sharma of his duties. Rohit joined the Mumbai Indians camp on Monday, and immediately started to prepare for the new season in the nets. The Hitman also shared a few pictures from the training session on social media, but there was no caption.
The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is about to get underway in a few days with fans eager to see their favourite franchises back in action. Mumbai Indians (MI), one of the most successful franchises in the competition's history, will be gearing up for a fruitful season under their new captain Hardik Pandya. Last year, Mumbai Indians reached the Playoffs but a quick-fire hundred from Gujarat Titans' Shubman Gill in Qualifier 2 helped them beat the Rohit Sharma-led MI.
Hardik Pandya opened up about replacing Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians skipper ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season and said that he did not get time to talk to the Indian cricket team skipper much about the topic as he has been touring lately. Pandya completed a sensational move from Gujarat Titans to MI and his appointment meant the end of Rohit's ten-year tenure as captain. In a recent event, Pandya was asked about whether he had the chance to discuss the change in leadership with Rohit and the India all-rounder had a clear answer.
A video posted by Mumbai Indians on social media has sparked a massive meme fest ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The video featured all the MI cricketers in locations all around Mumbai along with team owner Nita Ambani and mentor Sachin Tendulkar. In the final few seconds of the video, the team posed for a picture with Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya sitting on a sofa in the middle. With the controversy surrounding Hardik's appointment as skipper in place of Rohit, social media users noticed a space on the sofa between the two cricketers and decided to come up with hilarious posts.
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya on Monday said his predecessor Rohit Sharma will continue to be a guiding force for him during the IPL despite the unexpected change of leadership that the franchise announced ahead of the upcoming season, triggering a "backlash" from the fans. Pandya, who led Gujarat Titans in the past two seasons, is back at Mumbai Indians as captain for the 2024 edition. Having led Mumbai Indians to five titles, Rohit was surprisingly replaced by Pandya going into the upcoming season.
Back with his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, India wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel is hoping to replicate his form at Rajasthan Royals after a commendable series with the Test team against England. Having done exceptionally well under Rohit Sharma's leadership, Jurel is now eager to prove his worth to Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson. Ahead of the start of the new season, Jurel spoke highly of Samson's captaincy and even drew parallels between the RR skipper and Rohit Sharma.
