Hardik Pandya to continue as MI captain

Even though the rumors are fake, the pressure on Hardik Pandya is very real. Since taking over captaincy in 2024, the Indian all-rounder’s journey has been full of ups and downs. In his first season as captain, MI finished at the bottom of the table, which was a big shock for them.
In 2025, things improved as MI made it to the playoffs and reached Qualifier 2. It looked like the team was getting back on track, but again, in the ongoing IPL 2026, they are in a difficult position.
Hardik’s stats put him under the scanner
And this season, Hardik has so far scored only 97 runs in 6 innings at an average of around 19, and his bowling has been expensive with an economy of 12.66, picking up just 3 wickets.
