MI IPL 2025 captain
For the 2025 Indian Premier League IPL 2025 season, the Mumbai Indians (MI) have appointed Hardik Pandya as their captain. Hardik Pandya, who previously led the Gujarat Titans to an IPL title, is now tasked with maintaining MI’s legacy. This move has sparked debates, but Pandya’s aggressive and all-round approach could bring fresh energy to the five-time champions.
Under Hardik Pandya’s leadership, the Mumbai Indians aim to bounce back from a challenging 2024 season, where they finished at the bottom of the points table. Despite the disappointing performance, the franchise decided to retain their core players and continue with Pandya as their captain, showing faith in his leadership abilities.
