NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya expressed his assurance that his predecessor, Rohit Sharma, would remain a pivotal guiding figure for him throughout the IPL, despite the unforeseen shift in leadership announced by the franchise before the upcoming season.
Pandya, who previously captained the Gujarat Titans over the past two seasons, returns to Mumbai Indians as captain for the 2024 edition. Rohit, who led Mumbai Indians to five titles, was unexpectedly replaced by Pandya ahead of the 2024 season.
