Mumbai Indians: All the 10 teams have geared up for IPL 2025. Let us tell you that a mega auction is to be organized before the next season. Regarding the same, a meeting of all the franchises was held with the BCCI on 31 July. Many important issues were discussed in it. Many teams proposed that the number of players to be retained should be increased to 5-6.

Let us tell you that under the old rules, each team can retain only 3 players and can add one player back to their team through Right to Match. If we talk about Mumbai Indians, then this team can release its captain Hardik Pandya in the next season. Apart from this, the team management is going to appoint a new captain.

Mumbai Indians will release Hardik

During the last IPL, Mumbai Indians took a bold decision. According to this, five-time IPL champion captain Rohit Sharma has been removed from this post. All-rounder Hardik Pandya was appointed in his place. Let us tell you that Hardik left Gujarat Titans and rejoined this team through trading.

However, this 30-year-old player failed miserably to make his mark as a captain. In fact, in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League, Mumbai finished at the bottom of the points table, let alone qualifying for the playoffs. After this, the entire team as well as Hardik Pandya were criticized a lot. Apart from the performance, fans also trolled him fiercely for his behavior.

This brilliant player will become the next captain

Mumbai Indians can make Jaspreet Bumrah their next captain next year. In fact, this team can show the way out to Hardik Pandya who failed to show anything special last year. Apart from this, former captain Rohit Sharma and star cricketer Suryakumar Yadav can leave this team and become a part of some other franchise.

In such a situation, Bumrah can be seen handling not only the fast bowling department but also the responsibility of the entire team. It is worth noting that this dangerous pacer is one of the most senior cricketers of the team.
