Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai return will be fraught with challenges
Hardik Pandya’s trade back to Mumbai Indians came as a shock to everyone as he had a sensational run with the Gujarat Titans in the last two seasons. Hardik Pandya took Gujarat Giants to their maiden IPL title and ended up as runners-up in the subsequent season.
Mumbai Indian traded him back last year in a surprising deal and even declared him as the franchise's captain, marking the end of Rohit Sharma’s captaincy reign in the MI setup. This move of MI irked many Rohit Sharma and MI fans and the franchise received a strong backlash from the fans on social media.
There are even reports that some prominent players of the MI camp are not happy with the move. It will be exciting to see how Hardik Pandya will lead one of the most successful franchises of the league amid so much turbulence within the team and the fans.
