In a notable leadership transition, Mumbai Indians have appointed Hardik Pandya as the captain for the upcoming IPL 2024, succeeding Rohit Sharma. Rohit, who led Mumbai to five IPL titles, shares the record for the most successful captain in the tournament's history with Chennai Super Kings' MS Dhoni.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a step to pay tribute to the former captain, MS Dhoni, by deciding to retire the No. 7 jersey associated with him. This jersey, which became synonymous with Dhoni's career, particularly during his captaincy tenure and achievements in ICC events, will no longer be available for current and future Indian players.
