Mumbai Indians is led by Rohit Sharma, who is the league’s most successful captain. In 2013, the right-handed batsman took over as captain of the Mumbai Indians and led them to victory. In addition to 2013, Mumbai has also won the IPL in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020.
Hardik Pandya, an all-rounder, was acquired by Mumbai in 2015, and the team certainly helped shape his career. Pandya’s arrival on the Indian national team was anticipated by former Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar during the 2015 Indian Premier League. In 2016, Pandya debuted for India.
Pandya and Sharma are two of the most important players for India right now. Although Sharma leads the team in all three formats, Pandya acts as his deputy in the two white-ball formats.
Pandya gave an interview to the Mumbai Indians after the 2020 season, in which he discussed the impact Sharma had on his career. He freely confessed that Sharma’s direction was crucial to his personal growth. Pandya said that Sharma is the kind of player who doesn’t bring cricket discussion off-field and helps keep the vibe light in the camp.
What did Hardik Pandya say about Rohit Sharma?
“I have always enjoyed playing with Rohit and he has been a great captain. We don’t have many conversations about the game but I have had my best years playing under him,” Pandya was quoted as saying by the franchise in 2020.
Before joining the Gujarat Titans in 2022, Pandya won three IPL championships with the Mumbai Indians. Pandya scored 1476 runs in 85 innings for Mumbai, with the aid of four half-centuries, and a strike rate of 153.91. As a bowler, he took down 42 victims.
In 148 IPL matches as Mumbai captain, Sharma has a win percentage of 81 and a loss percentage of 63. Under Sharma, MI has a 56.08% victory percentage. Mumbai has had a rough few seasons and has failed to reach the playoffs in that time.
With the aid of 24 half-centuries, he has amassed a total of 3833 runs while serving as captain. In doing so, he has hit 358 fours and 153 sixes.
