In the 2025 IPL season, Hardik Pandya leads the Mumbai Indians cricket team as captain. From the moment Mumbai’s administration appointed Hardik as captain in 2024, supporters have continuously shown dissatisfaction with the management’s choice to replace Rohit Sharma as team leader. A fan questioned Nita Ambani about reinstating Rohit Sharma as captain during the 2025 IPL season when the Mumbai Indians owner visited the Shirdi Sai Baba Temple. The response Nita Ambani gave was powerful while simultaneously being gentle in nature.

What did Nita Ambani Say?
The fan approached Nita Ambani as she departed from the Sai Baba temple after prayer to ask her to reinstate Rohit Sharma as captain. The Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani smiled as she said “Baba holds the final decision,” before walking away from her encounter.
Hardik Pandya’s captaincy this season
A wave of criticisms hit Hardik Pandya when Mumbai Indians acquired him from Gujarat Titans and selected him as captain for the IPL’s 2024 edition. Supporters in almost every match he played faced intense traumatic reaction from fans through their booing. During his captaincy Mumbai managed only four victories in fourteen contests with ten losses that placed them at number ten on the point standings.
Throughout the IPL 2025 competition Mumbai Indians have participated in six games securing victories with two wins. The team requires a substantial improvement in performance to qualify for the playoffs in this season. The five-time IPL championship winner could potentially leave the competition prematurely during this tournament season.
