India’s star cricketer Hardik Pandya has been making the top headlines in the cricketing world as he takes charge as the new captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI) for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, marking a notable leadership change as Rohit Sharma steps down from the captaincy despite his five-time IPL-winning record.
However, here are some more captains on the list. Notably, from Rohit Sharma to MS Dhoni, let’s delve into five stalwarts who saw changes in their roles as captains in the IPL.
#1. MS Dhoni
Former India skipper MS Dhoni was removed as captain of Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) in 2017 and replaced by Steve Smith. However, the owner of RPS, Sanjiv Goenka, said that it was a difficult decision but they wanted a younger person to lead the side and revamp it ahead of the IPL season. In addition, he also said that MS Dhoni was supportive of the decision and continued to be an integral member of the team.
