Multiple reports say Mumbai Indians’ internal discussions involve both a potential Hardik Pandya trade and the team’s future leadership. The reports state that Hardik Pandya is told the trade deal could still fall through, while Rohit Sharma is expected to play a role in selecting the next captain for MI.

The outlets describe the situation as evolving within the franchise, with captaincy plans tied to the outcome of the Hardik Pandya matter. NDTV’s reporting focuses on what is conveyed to Pandya regarding the likelihood of the trade proceeding, and it links that to a timeline in which Rohit Sharma would identify the successor after his own role.

Across the available sources, the core elements remain consistent: Hardik Pandya’s trade is presented as uncertain, and Rohit Sharma is positioned as the figure deciding the next captain. The reports do not provide further confirmed details such as the trade partner, specific dates, or whether MI leadership formally finalizes the appointment immediately.
