Hardik Pandya Shocks Cricket World by Returning to Mumbai Indians Before IPL Auction
In a surprising turn of events, Hardik Pandya has returned to Mumbai Indians before the recent IPL star auction. The move shocked the entire cricket world, as Hardik was the captain of the Gujarat Titans and had led them to great success in the past two seasons.
What made the news even more shocking was the announcement that Hardik Pandya would be taking over as the new captain of Mumbai Indians, replacing the legendary Rohit Sharma. Sharma, who led Mumbai Indians to five IPL titles, was a beloved figure among fans, and the decision to replace him with Hardik Pandya was met with public criticism.
Reports have now emerged that the transfer of Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians was a smart business move by CVC Capitals, the owners of the Ahmedabad team. The owners reportedly received a transfer fee of around Rs 100 crore from Mumbai Indians, in addition to the Rs 15 crore they already had in their purse balance.
Hardik Pandya had enjoyed great success with Gujarat Titans, leading the team to the finals in both seasons and winning the IPL championship in the first season. He was the high run chaser for the team in the 2022 season and played a key role in their success.
It remains to be seen how fans will react to the news of Hardik Pandya’s return to Mumbai Indians and his new role as captain. However, one thing is for sure – the upcoming IPL season is bound to be an interesting one with this major shakeup in the Mumbai Indians team.
