Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah prepare to depart for the T20 World Cup in the USA, marking the end of Mumbai Indians' IPL 2024 campaign.

Mumbai Indians bid farewell to IPL 2024 following a disappointing season, culminating in a defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad that sealed their elimination from playoff contention. With only four wins in twelve matches, Mumbai Indians became the first team to exit the tournament. Consequently, key players including Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are scheduled to depart for the USA on May 21, shifting their focus to the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.

Although Mumbai Indians still have two group stage matches remaining in IPL 2024, against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 11 and Lucknow Super Giants on May 17, the team’s attention now turns to the global stage. Under the leadership of new captain Hardik Pandya, MI endured a challenging campaign, prompting a shift in focus towards international duty.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma headlines the initial batch of players departing for the T20 World Cup, where India’s campaign kicks off against Ireland on June 5. Joining Sharma on the journey to the United States are teammates Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav, all slated to leave on May 21, coinciding with the Qualifier 1 of IPL 2024.

With the IPL group stages concluding on May 19, a brief hiatus precedes the departure of the first contingent of players for the T20 World Cup. As the race for IPL 2024 playoffs intensifies, Mumbai Indians’ elimination signifies the imminent departure of several top Indian stars for international duty in the USA.
