Mumbai Indians have won five IPL titles under Rohit Sharma, making him one of the most successful captains in the franchise’s history. However, the team has struggled to maintain that success in recent seasons, finishing last in 2024 and ninth in 2026, with a Qualifier 2 appearance in between in 2025.
Suryakumar led India to the 2026 T20 World Cup title and has captained MI in five IPL matches in Hardik's absence, winning two and losing three.
Tilak has captained Hyderabad, the South Zone and India A, including a recent assignment in Sri Lanka. He is also India's T20I vice-captain. Jasprit Bumrah is not being considered because of his injury history.
Hardik Pandya Trade: Rajasthan Royals, CSK and Other Teams in the Frame
A potential deal with Rajasthan Royals could involve opener Yashasvi Jaiswal moving to MI in exchange for Hardik. Rajasthan would gain a pace-bowling all-rounder, while Jaiswal could open alongside Rohit and become a future captaincy candidate.
If Hardik leaves, MI will need a replacement for his pace-bowling all-round skills. Corbin Bosch is an option, but the franchise may seek a more consistent performer.
Hardik Pandya's Captaincy Struggles Contrast With Rohit's MI Legacy
Hardik Pandya returned to MI in a high-profile trade from Gujarat Titans ahead of IPL 2024 after leading GT to the title in 2022. MI finished last in 2024, reached Qualifier 2 in 2025 and ended the 2026 season in ninth place under his leadership.
He captained MI in 163 matches, winning 93 and losing 70, including two wins and two defeats in Super Overs. His win percentage of 55.82 is bettered only by Sachin Tendulkar among MI captains who have led the team in at least 10 matches.
