Former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma, alongside Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, promised their fans a sixth title in 2026. The dynamic trio was seen together on the stage, interacting with thousands of MI fans.
The Mumbai Indians are one of the most successful franchises in the history of the IPL. The Mumbai Indians have won the IPL trophy a total of five times, and that too under the leadership of just one captain.
Mumbai Indians finished IPL 2025 as the second runner-up. They qualified for the playoffs after having managed to finish fourth on the IPL points table. However, they defeated the Gujarat Titans in the eliminator but failed to get into the finals after their Qualifier 2 clash with the Punjab Kings.
Rohit Sharma, alongside Suryakumar Yadav and Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya, was seen interacting with the Mumbai Indians fans on the stage. The trio ended several debates surrounding the captaincy role.
Rohit Sharma personally thanked the Mumbai Indians fans for their relentless support over all these seasons. Also, he asked them to keep faith and shower immense love on the team in this season as well.

The Mumbai Indians won all their title under Rohit's captaincy
The Mumbai Indians were captained by the great Sachin Tendulkar in the initial seasons but could not manage to secure a win back then. The likes of Harbhajan Singh and the legendary captain Ricky Ponting have also led them; however, their first-ever title came in 2013 at the hands of the youngster Rohit Sharma.
The 25-year-old captain took charge in 2013 after Ricky Ponting stepped down from captaincy. This was the first time the Mumbai Indians won a title. They then never looked back under the veteran's captaincy.
Leading the MI side for over a decade, Rohit led them to five IPL titles. In every odd year between 2013 and 2019, the Mumbai Indians won four titles. In 2020, they became the second franchise after the Chennai Super Kings to win consecutive titles in back-to-back seasons.
Rohit remains one of the most successful captains in the history of the competition and shares a record of five titles with the legendary skipper MS Dhoni. He is also the second Indian skipper to win two ICC titles with the Men in Blue.
Mumbai Indians Probable Playing XI for IPL 2026
The Mumbai Indians have a very strong bench this time around, and picking the right XI will be a very tough job. Especially with the amount of overseas talent they have, it can be predicted that they have a backup player for every foreign player in the XI.
Rohit Sharma is likely to open the innings with South African wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock; however, Ryan Rickelton, who opened the last time, might also be seen in the role. This is one of the major dilemmas.
They will be followed by the likes of Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and skipper Hardik Pandya. Sherfane Rutherford would add the firepower to the side, lower down the order. This will be the first time MI have had a West Indies finisher since Kieron Pollard's retirement.
Will Jacks might be picked over Mitchell Santner for the no. 7 spot. Shardul Thakur adds depth to the batting order alongside Deepak Chahar. Jasprit Bumrah will be the last man in the XI.
However, what remains a massive dilemma is who will be picked between Corbin Bosch, Trent Boult, and Allah Ghazanfar, since there is only one spot for three of the most valuable overseas players. Naman Dhir and Mayank Markande could be used as impact players at times.
