The MI skipper had to miss the remaining games of the tournament as well and could miss out on playing for Mumbai Indians as well. However, it isn’t fully confirmed as to who will lead the Mumbai team in the 17th edition of the league so far.
For Mumbai Indians, the unavailability of Hardik could prove to be a huge blow with the IPL Auction 2024 done and dusted on December 19. Teams still have a chance to trade in players in the form of a player swap or all cash deals.
It will be interesting to see whether or not the new MI skipper be able to shock the fans and recover in time for the IPL 2024 season or not.
