Team-wise one back-up skipper for IPL 2020
If a captain gets sidelined; these players can be the back-up captains.
1. Mumbai Indians (MI) – Kieron Pollard
There’s absolutely no doubt that Rohit Sharma and Mumbai Indians (MI) are the most successful IPL combination. Under Rohit, MI have lifted four titles and all of them coming since 2013. He is one of the only four players who has led a team in more than 100 IPL games.
Moreover, Rohit’s win percentage as skipper in the IPL is 58.65% which is marginally behind that of Sachin Tendulkar’s 58.82 which makes him MI’s second-best captain. However, the Indian white-ball vice-captain has constantly been on the road for a while now. He’s been leading India’s charge with the bat at the top of the order across all formats as well.
MI have a good strong leadership group around Rohit as well. Thus, there are a few options. But Kieron Pollard is likely to be his deputy. Pollard is currently leading the West Indian white-ball teams as well. In fact, he even led MI in one game last year against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and led them to a win. Thus, Pollard will be the backup skipper for the defending champions.
