Hardik Pandya: The teams participating in the 18th session before the IPL auction 2025 have the potential to make a big upset. Like before, this time too, the most eyes will be on Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians performed very poorly under the leadership of new captain Hardik Pandya last season.
The performance was such that the team was eliminated after playing the group matches. This was a big blow to Mumbai Indians fans. Now it is expected that Mumbai Indians can release Hardik Pandya. However, Hardik Pandya is currently the captain of the Mumbai Indians; if this happens to him, then it will be considered a big action.
After this, it will be intriguing to see which team Hardik Pandya will join. By the way, he has tried his luck for Gujarat Titans in the 15th and 16th seasons of IPL. He has done a great job as a captain for the Gujarat Titans. Under his leadership, the team has won the IPL title once and was runner-up once.
Will the Mumbai Indians release Hardik Pandya?
The Mumbai Indians, a 5-time IPL winner, can release Hardik Pandya, for whom they have made full preparations. If this is accomplished, then it will be interesting to see whether he will join any team. By the way, Hardik Pandya has many avenues open. If Mumbai Indians release him, then any team can include him by placing a big bid on him in the IPL Auction 2025.
Mumbai Indians’ archrivals Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders can place a bet. Delhi Capitals is a team that has not won any IPL titles yet. This also includes the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. Right now, these are just speculations because no one has said anything officially.
Who will the Mumbai Indians make the captain?
If the Mumbai Indians release Hardik Pandya, then who will they choose as their next captain? This question is haunting everyone’s mind. It is believed that in such a situation, Mumbai Indians can once again give this responsibility to Rohit Sharma. If for some reason Rohit Sharma does not take this responsibility, then Surya Kumar Yadav can be chosen as the captain.
Surya Kumar Yadav has also been named captain of the Indian team in T20. Therefore, the Mumbai Indians can appoint him as their captain to take advantage of his experience. Whatever happens now will be known only with time.
