Today, on December 19, the Indian Premier League 2024 mini auction is underway in Dubai. Mumbai Indians sparked discussions by swiftly replacing Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as captain, surprising everyone.
The team now faces the challenge of reshaping their lineup, despite their five-time championship status. The captaincy debate escalates as Hardik Pandya was named captain even before the auction, having been traded from the Gujarat Titans.
Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, Gujarat Titans won the title on debut. This year, the team had to settle for the runner-up position.
Therefore, Mumbai Indians directly took Hardik Pandya as the captain in the team. Hardik Pandya was earlier a member of Mumbai Indians. So he has an idea of the culture of Mumbai Indians.
How much money is left with Mumbai Indians?
Mumbai Indians currently have Rs 17.75 crore in their purse. A team needs 8 players to fill its slot. It can accommodate 4 foreign players.
Mumbai Indians had traded all-rounder Cameron Green. Now Mumbai Indians will try to get another big all-rounder in the team.
