The interaction session has been released on the internet and started to gain attention from the cricket fans. The 5-time IPL title holder Mumbai Indians brought back Hardik a couple of seasons back in search of a new leader who can replace Rohit Sharma. Pandya was an integral part of MI's four out of five IPL triumphs. Hardik, without any hesitation, said that Mumbai Indians always remain his favorite team. In his words, "Getting picked by the Mumbai Indians was even more special because Mumbai was always my favorite team." Pandya even shared some of his all-time great players names who played for the Mumbai-based franchise.

"I had a wallpaper on my phone of Sachin Tendulkar, Sir, Harbhajan Singh, and I think Malinga's (Lasith Malinga) face was there, so I've always been a Mumbai fan, and obviously then getting the opportunity to come and play for this franchise was even more special, and obviously my journey started from there," Pandya said during a Star Sports interview. 

Hardik Pandya's second stint with Mumbai Indians 

Pandya did not have a good start with his dream franchise team as a captain. The team experienced a rare rock-bottom situation in the last season. This time, in IPL 2025, the former champion team is not in a comfortable situation after 4 games. The team has registered only one victory so far and 3 losses. Mumbai Indians are ready to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede Stadium today at 7.30 pm. MI will have to try their best to win the match and make a comeback to the title race.
