The team flopped under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya

Before IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians removed Rohit Sharma from the captaincy. In place of Hitman, they handed over this responsibility to all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who had joined the team through trade. However, due to this the team got divided into two parts. Many players of the team were not happy with Hardik being made the captain.

The effect of this rift was visible on the field as well. From the first match till the end, the entire camp seemed divided. The team's performance was very poor and it finished at the bottom of the points table. In such a situation, Hardik Pandya may be stripped of captaincy in the next season.
