NEW DELHI: In a significant development in Indian cricket, it has emerged that Hardik Pandya is set to return to Mumbai Indians this IPL season after having captained Gujarat Titans for a couple of seasons. TOI has learnt that the star allrounder is being seen as a potential successor to Rohit Sharma in the Mumbai Indians squad.
“Hardik has been in talks with Mumbai Indians since the last IPL got over. Hardik and MI reached the decision a couple of months before the World Cup. It’s up to the two franchises to firm up the modalities and formalize the deal. An announcement will be made only after that,” a BCCI source told TOI.
