MSD = CSK. Their brand value will crash once he is out of CSK. I don't think they care about trophies anymore. They have won enough. Brand value is important for them. I don't see any other guy that can command same charisma, value in the current side.Their next  best bet was Raina some time back. But since he  left they tried Jadeja. He remotely has the brand value of MSD. They will go after Pant soon.

Nah MSD will stay with them as coach/mentor and brand value will remain.

Pandoo is the biggest joke and a fraud to have played in India colors. Dude is manipulative and very cunning. He should never be picked in International side as he will poop again. He should stick to hit and giggle paisa fixed league. 

yes very shady character wise

Nothing can match crowd making noise when MSD walks out to the crease.  Unlike guys like Rohit even KOhli to some extent Dhoni has thi mass appeal wherever he goes. He will not be visible on the ground if he does backroom stuff.

Crowd comes to see him, not necessarily to watch him bat. He'll have the mass appeal. They will keep showing him on big screen.

Transition is required in any team keeping future in mind. Don't you think Tendulkar could have played couple of more years of IPL? Ofcourse he could have. However MI dropped both him and Ponting in 2013 and handed over the reigns to young Rohit Sharma. Similarly now they have removed Rohit and handed the reigns to Pandya looking into the future.

 

CSK needs transition ASAP....Dhoni can stay as coach/mentor etc.

 

Yes, that is what they tried to do with Jadeja and it failed.

They will make Ruturaj captain once he becomes a regular in the India squad.

We have an all imporant test series starting in a few days and so many cricketers, ex-cricketers, media are caught up in this MI BMI drama.

MI want to remain top side. I think its a great move. hardik has back to back success, every franchise would want him. Rohit should continue as a player or move to RR who need him.

Hardik Pandya was appointed the Mumbai Indians skipper ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season on Friday. It meant the end of Rohit Sharma's ten-year tenure as MI skipper. During his time as skipper, Rohit guided the franchise to five IPL trophies. Pandya rejoined the MI side as part of a sensational trade move from Gujarat Titans. The all-rounder was the GT captain for the past two years and he won the title with the franchise back in 2022.

 

Commenting on this transition Mahela Jayawardene, Global Head of Performance, Mumbai Indians said - “It is part of legacy building and staying true to the MI philosophy of being future-ready. Mumbai Indians have always been blessed with exceptional leadership right from Sachin to Harbhajan and Ricky to Rohit, who while contributing to the immediate success have always had an eye on strengthening the team for the future. It is in keeping with this philosophy that Hardik Pandya will assume captaincy of Mumbai Indians for the IPL 2024 season."

 

"We express our gratitude to Rohit Sharma for his exceptional leadership; his tenure as the captain of the Mumbai Indians since 2013 has been nothing short of extraordinary. His leadership has not only brought unparalleled success to the team but has also solidified his place as one of the finest captains in the history of the IPL. Under his guidance, MI became one of the most successful and loved teams ever. We will look forward to his guidance and experience on and off the field to further strengthen MI."

 

"We welcome Hardik Pandya as the new captain of MI and wish him all the very best."

In 31 matches for GT from 2022-23, Pandya scored 833 runs at an average of 37.86 and a strike rate of over 133, with six half-centuries and a best score of 87*. He also had 11 wickets for the team, with the best figures of 3/17.

 

Pandya also played 92 matches for MI from 2015-2021, scoring 1,476 runs at an average of 27.33 at a strike rate of over 153, with four half-centuries and best score of 91. He also took 42 wickets for the team, with the best bowling figures of 3/20.

 

Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com

Pandya has won five IPL trophies, four with MI (2015, 2017, 2019, 2020) and GT (2022).

This fake allrounder would surely play all 17-18 matches of ipl but cant play a 3 match or 5 match series continuously. Ideally BCCI shouldn’t pick such dhokebaaz deshdrohis for any format but this is India where crooked and cons rule and rock.

[The Hound]

Na keep this guy away from indian captaincy, this selfish money hungry bozo will destroy the dressing room. 

[Bigg Brother]

Don't like Rohit either but stature wise Pandya is nowhere near Rohit. What was MI thinking? Maybe Bumrah? Even Sky? Those were better options if they wanted to move on from Rohit.

Wont play tests either. Also, as per news he is not interested in ODI cricket in long term as well. His focus is only for T20s and want to play mostly franchise cricket.

@velu I think new "young"  captain will be groomed  under MSD for CSK :)

They had Rashid, Shami and Gill. Those are very much top 1-2 in their category.

Promote Rahane to captaincy? Still only 35 so fits CSK profile like a glove 

Not a bad option actually. Rahane is a gutsy captain. Remember we won Gabba test under him

Never thought sharma has this level of loyalty, but fans should move on.

Pandya is defintely the right guy.
