He also led the Barbados Tridents to the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title recently.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;It is very unfortunate that Rohit will be unable to lead the team and I take this opportunity to wish him a fast comeback. I truly understand that it is a huge honour and privilege to captain the vibrant Mumbai Indians side and thank the team management for bestowing their faith in me,&quot; said the Trinidad and Tobago native.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nChief mentor of Mumbai Indians, Anil Kumble said: &quot;We will definitely feel Rohit&#39;s absence in the team and wish him well. I am confident that Kieron with his varied experience and impressive track record will rise to the occasion and align the Mumbai Indians for a competitive performance.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
