Kaif: MI should not repeat Rohit Sharma's captaincy treatment in IPL 2026
Mohammad Kaif urges Mumbai Indians not to hand the captaincy to Suryakumar Yadav in IPL 2026, cautioning against a move that could echo Rohit Sharma's exit.
Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif says Mumbai Indians should not hand over the captaincy to Suryakumar Yadav for IPL 2026, warning that it should not happen like how they treated Rohit Sharma.
The statement adds to the ongoing captaincy debate ahead of the new season as MI weigh leadership options. Fans and former players have speculated about the next leader, with Suryakumar viewed as a potential choice by some, while others caution against altering the leadership dynamic too soon.
Kaif's take reflects a broader conversation about balancing experience and transition in franchise cricket, especially for a team that has entrusted Rohit Sharma with the captaincy for many seasons.
