IPL 2026, Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indians team is struggling with poor form in IPL 2026. The team has so far achieved only 3 wins in 10 matches. In such a situation, every upcoming match is like do or die for Mumbai Indians. But in such a situation, the team's tension is not ending. Captain Hardik Pandya is injured, he was not a part of the last match. Even in the upcoming match, his performance is being considered negligible. Suryakumar Yadav, who is captaining in his place, may also be out of the next match. In such a situation, now the team may have to choose a new captain.

Hardik Pandya-Suryakumar Yadav will not play the next match?

According to media reports, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has not gone to Raipur with the team for the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 10. On Wednesday, May 6, when Mumbai Indians players gathered at Terminal-1 of Mumbai Airport in the afternoon, Hardik Pandya was not seen there. There is no indication yet whether he will join the team before the match. Even in the last match, Hardik did not play against Lucknow Super Giants. Suryakumar Yadav captained that match. The reason for Hardik's absence was said to be back spasms.

On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav has also not gone to Raipur with the team. According to reports, Surya is not with the team due to personal reasons. In such a situation, it is believed that he will also not be seen playing against Royal Challengers Bangalore on 10th May. Surya not playing means that Mumbai will have to change the captaincy again.

Will Rohit Sharma become the captain of Mumbai Indians again?

If both Hardik and Suryakumar are not available in the next match, then Rohit Sharma can take over the captaincy of the team. Rohit has already been the captain of Mumbai Indians. Under his captaincy the team has won the IPL title 5 times. In such a situation, the management can show confidence in him. However, the team has other options. The team can also go with young player Tilak Verma. Apart from him, Jasprit Bumrah is also a good option for the captain. He has the experience of captaining the Indian team.
