Suryakumar Yadav will lead Mumbai Indians in their IPL 2025 opener against CSK as Hardik Pandya serves a one-match ban for slow over-rate violations. This is a significant development for Mumbai Indians as they begin their IPL 2025 campaign. With Hardik Pandya serving a one-match suspension due to slow over-rate violations from the previous season, Suryakumar Yadav stepping in as captain adds an interesting dynamic to the team’s leadership. Given his experience leading India in T20Is, MI will be in capable hands against Chennai Super Kings in their opening game.
Hardik’s reaction to the ban suggests he is accepting the decision, though it raises questions about the continuity of penalties across seasons. Additionally, with Rohit Sharma still in the squad but not in a leadership role, it will be interesting to see how MI manages team dynamics this season.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think Hardik will regain the fans’ support after last season’s backlash?
