In Mumbai, a significant upheaval took place just before the commencement of IPL 2024. The Mumbai team management has entrusted the captaincy to Gujarat Titans player Hardik Pandya, relieving Rohit of his leadership role. This decision has disheartened fans.
Similarly, the Mumbai Indians team has announced a new captain. Find out who has taken on the captaincy now.
Who is that player?
Kieron Pollard has been chosen as the captain of MI Cape Town in South Africa’s SA 20 league. The previous captain, Rashid Khan, is recovering from an injury and is likely to miss the game. Consequently, Pollard has been given the captaincy for this season. Rashid Khan led the team in the first season.
MI Cape Town was led by Rashid Khan. It is uncertain whether Rashid Khan will play in this season. He was selected for the T20 series against Team India, but it is expected that he will not participate due to injury.
Kieron Pollard did not play in the first season, so he will make his debut in this season. The match dates are the same in the Africa League and the International League 20. Therefore, in place of Pollard, Nicholas Pooran will assume the captaincy in the International League.
Meanwhile, Kieron Pollard is a veteran of the Mumbai Indians team. In the IPL, Pollard has single-handedly won matches.
Not only with batting and bowling, but also with his amazing fielding, he has contributed valuable efforts to the team. This year, the Mumbai Indians team has included him as a batting coach.
