Who Will Lead MI Against PBKS? Major Update Emerges

Mumbai Indians were among the first teams to be knocked out of the tournament. Now they do hope to end the campaign well but it also turns out to be challenging as they go against PBKS. The match will be played at Dharamshala, where the two powerhouse teams will be locking horns against each other.

At the same time, there is an update which the Mumbai Indians fans would not love. Hardik Pandya is already unavailable to play for the team against Punjab Kings due to his injury. In his place, Mumbai Indians used to go with Suryakumar Yadav, who has led them over the last few games. But for the next game, reports emerge that even Suryakumar Yadav won't be available to play.

Without Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav at the helm, questions arise on who could possibly be the captain of the team. Jasprit Bumrah comes in as the top contender, as he has also led the Indian team for a few games when the main skipper was unavailable.

Our Take

Mumbai Indians are already eliminated from the tournament. So, they are all set to take up the risks and ensure that they end the current season on a positive note. This could be possible by giving opportunities to the other players, and the unavailability of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav brings them the same. It seems impossible that the fans would watch Rohit Sharma leading the side again, as he was already replaced by Hardik Pandya a few seasons back.
