Mumbai Indians have confirmed that Rohit Sharma will return as captain for the 2027 Indian Premier League season, taking over from Hardik Pandya who led the franchise in the previous edition.
The five-time IPL-winning captain had stepped down from the role ahead of the 2024 season. The franchise reportedly held extensive discussions to convince Sharma, known as the "Hitman," to reassume leadership duties for the upcoming campaign.
Mumbai Indians, the most successful team in IPL history with five titles, will aim for a sixth championship under Sharma's renewed captaincy.
