“Returning to Mumbai Indians feels like coming back to where it all began. I’m deeply thankful for the immense love and support from fans. It’s a blessing beyond words,” Hardik Pandya told Star Sports.
“From my journey as a young lad in Baroda to Mumbai, this city has taught me growth, instilling in me humility and resilience. The city’s love and teachings are invaluable to me, shaping me into the cricketer I am today. Mumbai always challenges you to be better and now with the IPL, I have returned home after two years,” he added.
It will be a emotional return for Hardik to Mumbai Indians. Furthermore, he will lead his side against his former side in their opening game of the tournament. Mumbai Indians will face Gujarat Titans on 24th March.
“I seek the same backing from our fans to propel us towards victory. Rest assured, I’ll ensure a thrilling season that every supporter will relish. It’s a journey we’ll all enjoy together,” Hardik concluded.
