Mumbai Indians need Hardik Pandya 2.0 to learn from the original at IPL 2024

Hardik Pandya’s 33-ball 39 against the Delhi Capitals wouldn’t have won him new admirers at the Wankhede stadium on Sunday. Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya celebrates with fans after Mumbai won the Indian Premier League cricket match against Delhi Capitals But in being able to post 234 on the runs scale, the new Mumbai Indians skipper would have recognized what approach they should take in the future. He would also reflect on MI’s middle overs slowdown which saw them crawl to 138/4 after 15 overs from 75/0 in the powerplay. When the season began, Hardik had promised that his MI homecoming would mark the return of Pandya – the finisher. With the Impact player empowering strong batting teams further, MI would probably want Hardik 2.0 to be a lot like the original Hardik, and not the anchor he was for GT.
