Mumbai: When the Mumbai team takes the field in IPL 2024, the biggest change in the team will be seen in the form of the captain. Hardik Pandya will take command of this team in place of Rohit Sharma, who made Mumbai champion five times. Hardik has been made the captain of the team, but carrying forward the legacy of Rohit Sharma can prove to be the biggest challenge for him.
There is no doubt that Mumbai is a good team, but there are some flaws in this team and it will not be easy for captain Hardik Pandya to overcome them. Let us know what will be the main challenge of Hardik Pandya this season and what are the strengths and weaknesses of the Mumbai team.
of Mumbai Indians
Strengths: Talking about the strength of Mumbai Indians, the batting unit of this team is very strong, which includes Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma and Hardik Pandya himself. Then the team also has other options like Nehal Vadera, Tim David, Divold Brewis and Mohammad Nabi. Mumbai chased a target of more than 200 four times during the 2023 season. Mumbai has an army of power hitters, who can destroy the bowling attack of the opposition team.
Mumbai's weakness
Talking about the weakness of this team, its spin department has not been strong. Spin may prove to be the weakest link of this team. But the team has Piyush Chawla, who took 25 wickets in 16 matches. But it remains to be seen how Piyush will perform in the middle overs. Apart from this, the team has the option of Shreyas Gopal along with Kumar Karthike and Shams Mulani in the spin department, but there are no big names and less experience. Mumbai's opposing team can take advantage of this shortcoming.
This will be a big challenge for Hardik
What effect will the removal of Rohit Sharma from captaincy have on the team? After removing Rohit from this post, there may be a rift between the captain, senior players, team management and Mark Boucher. But everything seems fine on the surface, but it may affect the team. The captaincy experience of Rohit Sharma and Hardik is going to change the world. Hardik will take command of Mumbai for the first time and he will have the challenge of keeping the team united.
