Mumbai Indians have announced that Rohit Sharma will resume the captaincy for the 2027 Indian Premier League season, taking over from Hardik Pandya. The franchise reportedly convinced the former India captain, known as the "Hitman," to lead the team again after a period under Pandya's leadership.

Details of the transition remain limited, but the move marks Sharma's return to the role he held during Mumbai Indians' most successful era, which included five IPL titles.
