‘Good choice…’: Former player sees Hardik as future MI captain

The Mumbai Indians’ succession plan post-Rohit Sharma is shaping, with Hardik Pandya emerging as a front-runner to lead the team. Returning after a successful stint with the Gujarat Titans, Hardik brings valuable leadership experience and has played a pivotal role in Mumbai Indians’ four IPL titles. Former Sri Lanka bowler Dilhara Fernando, who was part of the Mumbai Indians IPL franchise between 2008 and 2011, believes Hardik is a suitable choice to captain the team due to his leadership qualities. Fernando believes that after Rohit Sharma, Hardik will lead the Mumbai Indians.
