Mumbai Indians had a disappointing IPL 2026 season, finishing ninth in the table. The Hardik Pandya-led side failed to qualify for the playoffs after winning four of their 14 matches. Following the poor campaign, The Indian Express reported that the team management is considering removing Hardik as captain.
"Differences exist in almost every dressing room, but the division and bitterness at Mumbai Indians have been unusually high since Hardik returned. It doesn't take an expert to see what's happening, but for a franchise like Mumbai (Indians), which has always valued its core group, the constant leaks are a major concern. It's a strong word, but it's the reality. That dressing room has seen legends, captaincy transitions, and more, but it has never been like this," said a source tracking developments.
