Suryakumar Yadav captain for Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma miss games in IPL 2023

No team has won more Indian Premier League (IPL) titles than the Mumbai Indians. The five-time IPL champions are a powerhouse team when it comes to IPL but have struggled to live up to their lofty standards in the last couple of season. Suryakumar Yadav captain for Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma miss games in IPL 2023.

Team India captain Rohit Sharma could sit for a few IPL games to manage his workload in the build up to the World Test Championship final. With India battling an injury crisis, the MI skipper has opted for a cautious approach to keep him available at all times for the national team. Should Rohit miss out, Suryakumar Yadav will skipper the five-time champions in the IPL.

The final of the World Test Championship will take place at The Oval in London a week after the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL), and India will host the 50-over World Cup in October and November of this year. India’s international schedule is extremely full. According to a report, it has been learned that Rohit might miss a couple of IPL matches this season.

In order to manage his workload, India’s all-format captain Rohit is likely to sit out for a few matches at the IPL 2023. The report also added that premier batter Suryakumar Yadav will lead Mumbai Indians in the absence of the veteran opener. As per the latest reports, Rohit will also pick and choose the matches he will skip this season.

However, Rohit will travel with the team to guide stand-in skipper Suryakumar when he is not a part of the MI playing XI this season. Indian skipper Rohit witnessed his worst season as a batter and captain in the IPL last year. The 35-year-old even failed to score a single half-century in the IPL 2022. Mumbai Indians lost their first eight matches under Rohit’s watch last season.
