Mumbai Indians, one of the most beloved teams, but experienced a dip in fan support last season. This shift began when Mumbai Indians announced Hardik Pandya replacing Rohit Sharma as their leader for 2024. As a result, we witnessed big booing whenever Pandya played for MI last year, which certainly impacted the team. MI had a miserable season, finishing last in IPL 2024 and failing to qualify for the playoffs.
Despite this setback, the five-time champions have had various leaders over the years who managed to do well for the team. Rohit Sharma emerged as a standout leader, providing some of the best memories under his captaincy and becoming a core part of the franchise. However, there’s no doubt that apart from him, other captains have also led the MI camp and contributed to crafting the team for a good run in the IPL.
Check out the list of all MI captains over the years and see how many games each has won for Mumbai Indians as a captain in the IPL.

Who will be MI captain in IPL 2025
Few months ago, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene confirmed that Hardik Pandya would continue as the captain of the franchise for the 2025 IPL season, despite the team’s poor performance in the previous season. The team is going with him once again, hope to see for better results.
It’s also worth noting that Pandya is known for redeeming himself. We saw in the T20 World Cup 2024 how he stepped up as a key player, performing excellently. Now, there’s a strong possibility of him making a turnaround in the upcoming IPL 2025 as well.
