[ad_1] File photo of Hardik Pandya (left) and Ashish Nehra.© BCCIHardik Pandya's trade to Mumbai Indians (MI) from Gujarat Titans (GT) was definitely one the most surprising moves in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history. The all-rounder, who had made his debut in the marquee event playing for MI in 2015, returned to the franchise in 2023 after playing two seasons for GT. MI acquired the services of Hardik in an all-cash deal from GT. Speaking about the trade, GT's head coach Ashish Nehra explained the management's opinion while talking about the move."Hardik Pandya has not gone back to a team that has caused a huge surprise. He played for that team for so many years, he showed his desire to go back there. Our management's nature is such that, we think if a player wants to go there, right. He should be happy and that's why he has gone there again," Nehra told JioCinema.Meanwhile, Nehra admitted that the void created by Hardik could not be filled so easily."Replacing someone like Hardik Pandya is difficult, but we tried our best. Having the size of 25 members is a luxury. We got a great all-rounder like Omarzai, we also got Shahrukh Khan. But it will be difficult to make up for somebody like Hardik who has that much talent and that much experience. It is what it is. With the resources we have, we will try and do our best," Nehra added.With a mixture of youth and experience, Gujarat Titans made some sensible buys at the IPL Player Auction 2024. The former champions roped in Australia pacer Spencer Joshnson for a whopping sum of Rs 10 crore. GT also bought uncapped batter Shahrukh Khan for Rs 7.4 crore, while also roping in veteran pacer Umesh Yadav for Rs 5.8 crore. Apart from them, GT improved their squad depth by acquiring the services of some uncapped Indian players.Topics mentioned in this article [ad_2] Source link

Mumbai Indians Name Hardik Pandya as Captain, Fans Express Disappointment

In a surprising turn of events, the Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise has chosen Hardik Pandya as the new captain, displacing the longstanding and successful captaincy of Rohit Sharma. This decision has stirred disappointment among fans, who took to social media to express their sentiments about the unexpected leadership change. Rohit Sharma, who took over the captaincy in 2013, led MI to an impressive five IPL titles in the last decade, solidifying his status as one of the most successful captains in the tournament alongside MS Dhoni of the Chennai Super Kings. The franchise released a statement on Friday, citing this shift in leadership as part of their strategic planning and extended gratitude to Rohit for his remarkable service to the team.

Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings share the distinction of being the most successful IPL franchises, both boasting five titles each. Rohit Sharma, fresh from leading India to the ODI World Cup final, had captained MI to victories in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Meanwhile, the responsibility now falls on Hardik Pandya's shoulders to fill the void left by Rohit's departure. This comes after Hardik's stint with Gujarat Titans in 2022, where he not only guided the team to victory in their debut season but also led them to the final last year, facing defeat against CSK at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

The official statement from Mumbai Indians emphasized that this change in leadership is a part of their future planning. It acknowledged Rohit Sharma's exceptional contributions to the franchise while signaling a new chapter under Hardik's captaincy. The decision underscores the challenges ahead for Pandya, stepping into the shoes of a captain who secured five IPL titles for MI. It remains to be seen how fans, players, and the cricketing community at large will respond to this unexpected transition as the franchise gears up for the upcoming IPL season.

Hardik Pandya will play for the Mumbai Indians

As of right now, neither team has officially announced the deal, but it will be the largest player transaction in IPL history.

For the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, star all-arounder Hardik Pandya is expected to part ways with his present squad, the Gujarat Titans (GT), and rejoin his old team, the Mumbai Indians, according to news sources

The 30-year-old player’s salary of Rs 15 crore and an unknown transfer fee to the Titans are the only terms of the all-cash transaction. Hardik might receive as much as 50% of the transfer money, per to news report.

The transaction will be regarded as the largest player trade in IPL history if it is executed successfully. Neither franchise has officially announced it as of yet.

In addition to leading the Gujarat-based team to victory in the 2022 IPL season, the all-around player was named “Player of the Match” in the match’s decisive victory over the Rajasthan Royals.

GT secured their spot in the IPL final for the second time in their first two seasons during the previous IPL season. They were runners-up in 2023, though, after losing to the Chennai Super Kings.

After Ravichandran Ashwin moved from Punjab Kings to Delhi Capitals, the 30-year-old will be the third captain to be swapped if the deal is completed. The second occasion occurred in 2020 when Ajinkya Rahane was traded by the Rajasthan Royals to the Capitals.

It was during the 2015 season that Hardik debuted. After that, he participated in 123 matches during which he took 53 wickets and amassed 2,309 runs with a strike percentage of 139.89.

IPL 2024 Auction: Gujarat Titans Captain Hardik Pandya Is Rejoining Mumbai Indians For All-Cash Trade, Says Report

In what could mark one of the most significant trades in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, the captain of Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya, is reportedly poised to return to his former franchise, the Mumbai Indians (MI), ahead of the IPL 2024 auction set for December. This anticipated move is set to be an all-cash trade, with MI covering Hardik's entire salary and an undisclosed transfer fee to GT. Notably, it's speculated that Hardik might receive half of the transfer fee, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.

Hardik Pandya's IPL salary stands at around $1.8 million, approximately equivalent to Rs 15 crore. However, both franchises have maintained silence regarding the specifics of this lucrative deal. If finalized, this trade would mark the first instance of an IPL-winning captain switching teams via trade. Hardik previously led the Titans to their debut IPL trophy in 2022, and in 2023, guided the team to the final where they fell short against MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

For this trade to materialize, MI must have Rs 15 crore available in their purse, but currently, they possess only Rs 0.05 crore. Each of the ten franchises is allotted Rs 5 crore for the forthcoming auction. To acquire the remaining Rs 10 crore required to bring Hardik on board, MI will need to release some players.

During his two-season tenure with the Titans, Hardik showcased his prowess by amassing 833 runs in 30 innings, boasting an impressive average of 41.65 and a striking rate of 133.49. Additionally, he contributed to the team's bowling strength, securing 11 wickets with an economy rate of 8.1. Presently, Hardik is sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained during India's ODI World Cup campaign.

Prior to this potential trade, only two captains had been traded - R Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane - when Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) exchanged players.

Hardik commenced his IPL journey with the Mumbai Indians in 2015. However, ahead of the 2022 mega auctions, MI had to let Hardik go as they could retain only a limited number of players. GT owners, CVC Capital, secured Hardik from the pool along with Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill.

Notably, Hardik clinched four IPL titles with MI in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020 respectively. With Rohit Sharma potentially nearing retirement, MI might see Hardik's return as an opportunity for him to lead the side in the forthcoming years.
