As different as the sight may be when Hardik Pandya leads the team out when it takes on Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2024 opener, it is the beginning of a new era..

In fact, the former India spinner is confident that the news of Hardik being appointed as captain for IPL 2024 would have at least shocked Rohit if nothing else. ..

I don't know; the management has taken the decision and I hope everyone takes it in the right spirit and Mumbai Indians plays like a champion side.". Hardik has grown as a leader: Harbhajan..

In fact, the 2022 season was so rewarding that with Rohit stepping away from India's T20I set-up to concentrate on the ODI for the World Cup, Hardik, on the high of an IPL win, captained India in the shortest format for 10 months until Rohit came back against Afghanistan..
