Mumbai to choose between Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav for white-ball captaincy
Mumbai must decide between Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav for white-ball captaincy roles.
Mumbai will select either Shreyas Iyer or Suryakumar Yadav to lead their white-ball teams depending on availability. Both players remain in contention for the limited-overs captaincy roles. The decision will be made once their international commitments are confirmed.
Iyer currently leads Punjab Kings in the IPL while Suryakumar plays for Mumbai Indians. Both have previous experience of captaining India in white-ball cricket. Mumbai's white-ball teams have used interim leadership arrangements in recent seasons.
The selection will affect team strategy and player management in the upcoming domestic white-ball tournaments. Mumbai have traditionally rotated captaincy duties across formats. The final decision will depend on which player can commit to the full domestic white-ball schedule.
