Mumbai Indians have been hit with a captaincy conundrum as they prepare to face off against the Punjab Kings in Dharamsala. Skipper Hardik Pandya is nursing back spams and is unavailable, while Suryakumar Yadav is also likely to miss out following the birth of his daughter. In their absence, MI could go back to Rohit Sharma, or turn to either Jasprit Bumrah or Tilak Varma for Thursday's game.
Mumbai Indians have been hit with a captaincy conundrum as they prepare to face off against the Punjab Kings in Dharamsala. Skipper Hardik Pandya is nursing back spams and is unavailable, while Suryakumar Yadav is also likely to miss out following the birth of his daughter. In their absence, MI could go back to Rohit Sharma, or turn to either Jasprit Bumrah or Tilak Varma for Thursday's game.
Why are Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav unavailable?
Hardik Pandya is reportedly nursing a back issue. The all-rounder missed the last game at the Wankhede Stadium and has not travelled with the team to Dharamsala. Pandya is undergoing assessment for his injury and a further update on his condition is expected.
Suryakumar Yadav led the team in his absence, as he did earlier in the season when Pandya missed a game due to illness. However, Surya himself is doubtful for the game PBKS vs MI, having not arrived in Dharamsala. India's T20 World Cup winning captain has returned home for the birth of his daughter.
