Mumbai Indians’ Strongest Playing XI For IPL 2024. Mumbai Indians (MI) have strategically strengthened their team for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. With a budget of 15.25 crores, they wisely retained key players like Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, and Suryakumar Yadav. To bolster their bowling department, the five-time champions brought in Gerald Coetzee, Dilshan Madushanka, and Nuwan Thushara, securing experienced backups in Mohammad Nabi and Shreyas Gopal. The remaining roster spots were filled with promising young talents who might not be widely recognized yet.
In IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya will lead the Mumbai Indians as the captain. He was recently named captain after being traded from the Gujarat Titans. Hardik had a successful stint with Mumbai Indians, winning four titles in seven seasons under Rohit Sharma’s leadership. Although he wasn’t retained in the 2022 auctions, he captained Gujarat Titans to an IPL title in his first season with them and took them to the finals in the 2023 season.
According to sources MI paid above 100 cr to Gujarat Titans as a transfer fee for Hardik. The decision to appoint Hardik Pandya as the captain of MI has generated mixed reactions among fans and reportedly some players. However, a senior official from the team has dismissed rumors of Rohit Sharma potentially leaving MI.
