The ongoing saga involving Hardik Pandya and Mumbai Indians appears to have no end any time soon. Recent reports suggest that the five-time champions made a substantial payment of INR 100 Crores to Gujarat Titans, in addition to the all-cash deal that occurred before the IPL Auction 2024.
If the reports are to be believed, Mumbai Indians might potentially encounter repercussions from the BCCI, which has financial regulations in effect for all the signings made in the league.
Teams are given a designated team purse that they are not allowed to exceed during the auction. Mumbai Indians, in addition to their reported dealings with Hardik Pandya, also acquired formidable pacers such as Gerald Coetzee and Dilshan Madhushanka to complement Jasprit Bumrah in the bowling attack.
After the appointment of Hardik Pandya as the new captain of Mumbai Indians just days after the transfer, fans of Rohit Sharma flooded the internet, expressing their disappointment with Mumbai’s decision to replace the Hitman as the team captain.
Hardik Pandya is presently recovering from an ankle injury that he sustained during Team India’s ODI World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh.
