Hardik Pandya, 32, tells Mumbai Indians management that he is leaving the franchise, according to reports. The move comes weeks before the team’s IPL campaign ends following a difficult season. Sources quoted across outlets say Pandya is “mentally stressed” and has indicated that he is done with Mumbai Indians. Pandya had taken over the captaincy in 2024, replacing Rohit Sharma, as he led the side for the season. The reports describe that he communicated his decision to the franchise’s management prior to the conclusion of the IPL, rather than making the announcement after the campaign wrapped up. The story does not include details on whether the decision is tied to any specific on-field incident, nor does it outline the exact timing or process for how the separation will be handled. It also does not clarify what role, if any, Pandya may play going forward with other teams. Mumbai Indians and Pandya’s representatives were not included in the supplied summaries, and no additional official statements are cited in the provided excerpts.
