Rohit Sharma, Riyan Parag to captain MI, RR as Hardik Pandya-Arshdeep Singh switch teams

Substantial leadership shifts are approaching the Indian Premier League ahead of the 2027 campaign. Mumbai Indians are reportedly preparing to reinstate Rohit Sharma as team captain this November, taking over the position from Hardik Pandya, who is nearing a transfer to Punjab Kings.

Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals plan to maintain consistency by keeping Riyan Parag at the helm with Yashasvi Jaiswal as his deputy. In a related player exchange, left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is set to move in the opposite direction and join Mumbai Indians, pending formal ratification from the governing body.
