Hardik Pandya is all set to play for MI under Rohit Sharma if the trade deal falls through

Mumbai Indians could be heading into IPL 2027 with an interesting change in their management dynamic. Hardik Pandya is reportedly open to playing under Rohit Sharma again if the proposed trade move falls through. That would mean a return to the set-up he was part of before taking over the captaincy.

According to a report by The Indian Express, Hardik is willing to stay with Mumbai Indians even if the trade deal does not go through. He too has no reservations about playing under Rohit.

The possibility of these two working together again is an interesting subplot ahead of the new season. Hardik replaced Rohit as MI captain ahead of IPL 2024, a decision that marked a major change for the franchise. If Hardik stays and Rohit returns to the captaincy, the roles could look completely different this time.
