IPL 2024: The Gujarat Titans have reaffirmed their confidence in Hardik Pandya, maintaining him as their captain for the next IPL season, thus quelling rumors of his possible return to the Mumbai Indians. Pandya, who had steered the Titans to an IPL victory in their debut season and a finals appearance in 2023, will remain with the team despite speculation of an all-cash trade with Mumbai. The Mumbai Indians have announced Rohit Sharma as their captain for IPL 2024 and have released England’s Jofra Archer, who is currently recovering from elbow surgery.
The list of retained and released players has been updated across the teams. The Mumbai Indians have kept key players like Rohit Sharma and released several, including Archer.
