Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah are also experienced options, but India’s former T20I captain is in the later stage of his career, while the fast bowler is not expected to take up the additional burden of leading the team.
MI owner Akash Ambani, Rahul Sanghvi, and head coach Kieron Pollard will have to decide whether to trust the former India and Mumbai captains, Rohit, for one more season or start building a new team under Tilak Varma.
Hardik Pandya's future uncertain as MI trade talks gain momentum
The IPL source said as reported by PTI, “Hardik Pandya isn't a confrontational person. In case MI doesn't get a suitable trade for him, he will certainly stay back for a year and give his 110-120 percent. It won't matter if he is the captain or not; there will be no lack of commitment. But trade isn't something that is in his hands. It is up to MI ownership to see the pros and cons for any trade offer that comes along.”
Despite being in the final stage of his career, Rohit’s experience and ability to lead a team remain valuable. Rohit has already guided MI to five IPL titles, and the franchise could once again turn to him during this important transition.
Pollard's appointment as the head coach could also work in Rohit's favour. The legendary all-rounder was part of all five IPL title-winning campaigns under Rohit and understands his leadership better than most.
Tilak Varma emerges as MI's long-term captaincy option
Mumbai Indians see him as a long-term leader and IPL 2027 could be the right opportunity to give him some experience before the mega auction in 2028. Tilak may also want to build a team of his choice at the auction and take charge with a fresh start.
