Mumbai Indians are set to reinstate Rohit Sharma as captain for the 2027 IPL season, following a disappointing 2026 season under Hardik Pandya. Rohit, who last captained the team in 2023, has agreed to take back the captaincy role. The team is also considering trading Hardik Pandya if a suitable deal is found. Robin Uthappa, the new batting coach, aims to build confidence among domestic players and wants the team to dominate not just at home but also on the road. Rohit Sharma revealed the story behind his iconic No. 45 jersey, explaining how his mother suggested the number after he couldn't use No. 19 due to it being Rahul Dravid's number in the Indian team.
