During a practice session with Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya was seen in high spirits, sporting a broad smile as he reunited with his former Gujarat Titans teammates in Ahmedabad.
Leading Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024, Pandya previously captained Gujarat Titans in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Players like Shubman Gill, Rahul Tewatia, Jayant Yadav, and others had the opportunity to play under his leadership during his tenure with GT.
Pandya’s return to Mumbai Indians came via trade before the IPL 2024 mini-auction, where he assumed the captaincy role after replacing Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans entrusted Shubman Gill with the captaincy following Pandya’s departure.
Interestingly, Mumbai Indians will face Gujarat Titans in their opening game of the season, marking Pandya’s return to his former home ground for his inaugural match of IPL 2024. Under Pandya’s leadership, Gujarat Titans achieved significant success, clinching the IPL 2022 trophy in their debut season
