Suryakumar Yadav will captain the Mumbai Indians in their opening match of the IPL 2025 season, according to Sportstar. Regular skipper Hardik Pandya is serving a one-match ban, making him unavailable for the first game.
Mumbai Indians will begin their campaign against Chennai Super Kings on March 23 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Team India’s current T20I captain previously captained Mumbai Indians in one IPL match in 2023.
Hardik Pandya has been handed a one-match ban for maintaining a slow over-rate during Mumbai Indians’ last game of the 2024 IPL season against Lucknow Super Giants. This was his third offence, resulting in a ₹30 lakh fine and a suspension that carries into the 2025 season opener.
Hardik was appointed Mumbai Indians’ full-time captain in 2024, replacing Rohit Sharma, who led the team to five IPL titles.
