Chennai Super Kings are going to face Mumbai Indians on March 23 in IPL 2025 starting on 22 March. The match between the two teams will be played at the MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai.

However, in this match, the regular captain of Mumbai Indians Hardik Pandya will not be able to play, as he has been banned by a match in the last league match during the last IPL. So at the same time, it is now known who will take over the captaincy of Mumbai Indians in the absence of Hardik.

This player gets the responsibility of captaincy

Let us know that for the high-voltage match against Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians have appointed Suryakumar Yadav as the captain of the team in place of Hardik Pandya. With this, Mumbai Indians have also shared a post on their official X account.

However, the team had two more options as Rohit Sharma and Mitchell Santner, but Mumbai Management has entrusted the responsibility to Indian T20 cricket team captain Suryakumar Yadav.

So at the same time, Hardik Pandya said that Sky (Suryakumar Yadav) has scored a lot of runs in the last few years. According to me, he is batting brilliantly. He has proved to be a match winner for India and Mumbai Indians.

On the other hand, if you inform you about Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy records, he has captained the team in a total of 39 matches. During this time he has won 28 times, so 10 times the team has also faced defeat. This is going to be the 40th match against CSK on March 23 as Captain in the IPL.
