Suryakumar Yadav, aka SKY, will lead Mumbai Indians (MI) in their first Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 23. This news was confirmed by MI’s regular captain, Hardik Pandya, who will miss the game due to a one-match suspension.
“Surya leads India as well. When I am not there, he is the ideal choice in this format and an exciting one as well,” Hardik said in MI's pre-season press conference in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Hardik Pandya will miss the opening game as he will be serving a one-match ban after the side recorded a slow over-rate in their IPL 2024 final league game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). This was his third offence of the season.
