The last IPL season was terrible for Mumbai Indians. The five-time champion team could not win even 5 out of 14 matches. Captain Rohit Sharma’s performance was also poor. He could not score even a half-century in the season. However, this time the team balance is visible, and Rohit Sharma, as captain, will also be responsible for taking the team forward. Still, Suryakumar Yadav can also captain some matches.
Media reports have revealed that Rohit Sharma will have to rest in some IPL matches due to workload management. If this happens, the team’s captain will be Suryakumar Yadav, who has been in solid form for the last several seasons and is also a part of Mumbai Indians. Suryakumar Yadav is yet to captain in the IPL, as Kieron Pollard used to be the captain in Rohit’s absence.
Kieron Pollard has now retired from IPL and is the team’s batting coach. In such a situation, Suryakumar Yadav is the best option for the captaincy. Rohit Sharma recently said in a statement that whether to give rest to the players entirely depends on the franchise. Still, we would like the workload of the players to be managed given the final of the World Test Championship 2023.
Talking Suryakumar Yadav has a lot of IPL experience. He has been playing IPL since 2012. He has experienced 123 matches. He is currently the number one batsman in T20 International cricket. This will boost his confidence, but he will also think he was dismissed on the first ball in every match of the three-match ODI series against Australia.
