With Hardik Pandya suspended, SKY to captain MI in IPL opener against CSK at Chepauk

The Hindu  

Suryakumar Yadav will lead Mumbai Indians in its Indian Premier League season-opener against Chennai Super Kings, to be played in Chennai on Sunday. Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene confirmed during MI’s pre-season media interaction that the franchise has been officially communicated about Hardik being ineligible and Suryakumar – the India T20I captain – being the stand-in captain. They can definitely see what best can be done.” For the second season in succession, Hardik will lead a team that includes the likes of Rohit Sharma – India’s Test and ODI captain and Suryakumar – who has been leading India ever since Rohit retired from T20Is after India’s triumphant T20 World Cup campaign last June. Hardik said he will bank on their experience and also hoped India’s recent success in limited overs will result in the spectators – who booed him all over the country last season – showering love on him. I think that joy will carry forward into IPL as well and we will look forward to taking up this challenge as well where the last four years have been dry for MI,” Hardik said.
