The Mumbai Indians had one of the worst seasons in IPL history under their new skipper Hardik Pandya. The Mumbai Indians finished second last in the points table with just four wins after having played all fourteen matches in the competition.
Several reports from NDTV have revealed that the Mumbai Indians' next captain would be the one who would have Rohit Sharma's blessings. The management has learned its lesson from the poor decision to replace Rohit in 2023.
"The next Mumbai Indians captain will be the one who has the blessings of Rohit Sharma. Mumbai realise the mistake they have made. But it will not be Rohit himself," the source, one of the top coaches and former India player, told when asked about Hardik's future.

It has been speculated for a long time that Hardik Pandya is leaving the Mumbai Indians squad following a stunning season. However, some recent NDTV reports have confirmed that his exit is due to a disturbing relationship with the management.
Many Mumbai Indians fans also said that they should have poached Ashish Nehra, the GT coach, as well, when they decided on their trade deal with Hardik Pandya. However, it doesn't seem as easy as it sounds.
