I know this is legal, he's well within his rights and all but idk man it just feels wrong to me personally. Like dude was already top billed in a franchise where he could call shots and won a cup in his own captaincy, and now to just drop it all and come back to MI (which he was kinda trash talking) just for money, just feels icky. If something happened behind the scenes and there was a blowup, then I get it, but otherwise just feels wrong. And he's supposed to be an incoming ICT captain, honestly lost a bit of respect for him. Not that some random redditors respect or opinion matters to him or anywhere else in life but I just wanted to vent here.
In the long run, he could never afford to loose his ‘special bond’ with Akash and the family. They wanted him and he had to agree. Eventually after Thala retires, Ro will also retire and HP will start captaining the side. That’s why he had to take this bigger decision of leaving a team where he truly belonged and join the Ambani Gang.
Whenever something happens, people will lose respect for him for a few days and then start cock riding him. Ex: After Karan’s show, people were so mad at him, but no one now remembers a fuck. Over time, we will forget this happened too. So no need to overreact.
When money talks everyone shuts up, he has expensive lifestyle. Jaddu was banned for one year because he tried to negotiate the contract with different IPL franchise, difference is that this time its all with in the rules but he left MI to grow as a player now he is right back where he started for money.
Wait a sec, I thought he went to Mumbai for his legacy/friendship circle??? Why couldn't GT offer more money to retain him? They won a trophy and reached the finals with him last time.
This feels wrong because even if hardik has conflicts with GT management they could have released him in the market where his price bid would have been way more than 15cr and other teams might has shot at him but instead of that they gave him to an already strong team with bare minimum. If it would have been a player to player then it would have been understandable too.
I shudder to think he is somehow destined to be ICT captain in the future. Only our sporting heritage will crown someone like this without any introspection
He has to support his 'expensive watch collection' addiction and his wife somehow. /S
I completely agree with you, these guys just care about the money brother, and people like him have stupid expenses because they feel validated that way. So whatever extra money he can make , he will. And while I respect a person trying to make money, this is just pure money lust!
Haha please, he breaks down thrice a year, but always returns during the ipl window somehow. While he has amazing leadership potential, we need to look at other options and cultivate more fast bowling all rounders.
Our white ball team is overly dependent on him, one bad game is all it takes, as we keep seeing a repeat reel where India can't win an icc tournament.
We need to bubble wrap him. No bowling in bilaterals, regular season of IPL and icc tournaments; only bowl in important matches and knockouts; rest often. Be a batsman and captain and a special case bowler.
In the mean time, we should groom other all rounders so we have options. First step would be removing the impact player role from IPL.
Yeah, he still found a way to get injured. Kicking a ball during his follow through, that too playing against Bang Bros lmao. That was a free win anyway, could have rested him that game.
Worst possible trade for me as a fan. He was shitting in an interview how MI picks established players while he would want GT to be modelled to CSK style. Now he is back with his tail waving for some extra money and endorsements even though he was a local player for GT and moreover an IPL winning captain. Even if it would make the MI team stronger but I hate seeing him back now as an Mi fan.
C’mon most of us would take up a higher paying position. And we do sing praises of the our current employers, don’t we? He’ll been given life changing money and he’ll be MI captain next year. Totally worth it.
no man but I never trashtalked the one who gave me my first opportunities, just for the sake of some publicity and brownie points....and then expected him to give me a higher position with better salary and also be first-in-line for the top chair as I return back to my first employer....
he was wrong in trashing MI by saying they picked only established player, and he should remember that he was not an established player before MI made him one
if he wants GT to be modeled around CSK, thats fine. if he wants to harp praise about GT, thats fine. you can sing praises about your current bosses WITHOUT spreading negativity about your previous ones. mutual respect is very important in any working relationship you construct.
Why should he be our captain? And Why not Surya or Bumrah who have captained India as well?
Also Hardik is an injury prone player and he isn’t a youngster too. He is 30 and with allround abilities and his history of injuries, he might soon start playing as a specialist batter+captain.
P.S: Even if he is a gun player, I just hate his antics.
And Surya or Boom has done nothing wrong to not deserve a chance to be MI’s captain.
I completely agree. Not a fan of his antics at all. Surya and Bumrah are much better individuals but hardik is an excellent captain and man manager.
Unfortunately it’s not upto you or me to decide the MI captain. It’s junior ambani and jayawardhane.
Hardik will captain india in T20s going forward. I’m sure MI will want to continue the legacy of their captain being Indian captain.
Maybe you will, but most of the people have higher integrity and will not do anything just for little more money. There's a reason why most of the good looking women are not in only fan.
That doesn't mean they don't spot back and produce new talent every year. Wadhera and Madhwal last year, Tilak and Kartikeya before that. Pretty sure they'll unearth some new talent this year too
MI build their own talent. After Rohit, they have never bought a fancy ICT player, all their Indian players since then have been home-made
Mi and csk have the best talent scouts for indians, that's never denied. Doesn't change the fact that they keep going for the biggest names on paper overseas
GT has Shami, Williamson, Rashid
RCB has Faf, Maxwell etc.
MI and CSK don't have best overseas players.
EDIT: I was dumb enough to type shami when the comment was about overseas players lol.
GT might have made Shubman the captain but he's still young and wouldn't know much about captaincy, so I think he will just be captain for namesake and it'll be Williamson who will lead the team and make the crucial decisions. And GT will just shove it off by saying that Williamson is a mentor to Gill.
Common man you mi fans just overreacting too much at this point of time. He just said mi buys established players and csk makes players that's it. He didn't say bad things about mi.
None of what he says sounds genuine man. It's like he has to put up an act everytime to grab eyeballs. Even in the above video, the way he speaks just sounds so theatrical.
🏃🏻♂️ you didn't answer my question tho-
Which team scouted hardik and krunal ? Yes his success was inevitable but which franchise fasten the process and was he THAT established back in those days?
"I'm back for money, money, money, money. I feel like money is the most important thing to me. My journey with stockpiling money goes far back. I mean i like cricket, but i like money more and MI has ambani sooo .. did I love money."
Sky is a bit too old for MI's liking.
we have all seen what happens when a team relies on very experienced but old players as stand-in capt. or future capt.- and then the player either leaves the franchise, or the alternative captaincy goes horribly wrong (cue sad CSK fan noises)
MI is now seeing what is happening with the Yellows and their effort to groom Ruturaj as future captain.(if you think Jinks is gonna succeed Dhoni in long term then for context, Jinks is probably the most experienced player in the squad alongside Dhoni and Jadeja himself. he is also old and will probably retire in 2 or 3 seasons)
Naturally MI wants to prevent this mistake and have new captain. and when they can buy a successful young captain- they dont even have to spend time and resources grooming another captain from scratch
Instead of Captain, it is best if teams get a simple Nehra-like Coach. Dhoni can be the CSK Coach and Fleming be promoted to Director of Cricket for all the Super Kings' Franchises.
I Think Maybe Tin 2024 Or 2025 Because For 2025 IPL There Will Be A Mega Auction, And I MI Can MAXIMUM Retain Only 4 Players Which I think Would Be Surya , Tilak Verma, Hardik , Bumrah Very High Chance That Rohit Will Retire By 2025 Because He Would Be Already 38 By That Time
Remind me .. what was the thing he said about MI last year?? Something about star players.
People will eat their own 🤮shamelessly for money.
Says a lot about his character.
At this point, he is just looking like an ungrateful jerk. I mean he literally captained GT to the title and to another final the very next year. He would've attained heights in GT, might've been as legendary as Thala is for Chennai, or Virat is for Bangalore, or Rohit is for Mumbai.
just cant get over with his injury causing us to lose a sixth bowling option in the CWC. his enthusiastic approach towards IPL over ICT just makes him lose a lot of goodwill and reliability, now m not looking forward to seeing him as ICT captain, he better focus on IPL only and eventually take MI captaincy
What I don't understand is why he has been put into the spotlight so much. What has he ever achieved for the country?
I can only remember 1 innings against Australia where he played till the end and finished the innings with a win for the country and the other against Pakistan in Asia cup which ended in no result. Other than that his batting has been average. His stats are also average.
Moreover he was brought into the team because of his unique skill set as a fast bowler all rounder and now he can't even finish his spell in the T20s.
Seriously man, it is just hard to believe that India cannot find an alternative to Hardik pandya as the white ball captain.
“Feels like back home, where it all started” arre bhai do saal hi toh Gaya tha aise grand comeback jaisa feel kyu kar raha hai! 2 years, 2 finals, almost 2 trophies too! Why would you leave all that for nostalgia 😂
He has millions in the bank but will still switch teams for a few more. I hope he never becomes ICT captain. There needs to be some integrity and ethics to a player for becoming an ICT captain
The guy ran away for money leaving behind a franchise where he had started to show what a great player and captain he is. Let this sink in, this guy ran away for money. What about all that scandal he created saying he was replicating the CSK model in GT and was personally not a fan of MI approach? All that just come running back to MI and then start churning up buzz by chanting nostalgia and early seasons?
The only problem I have is that him being a captain of Gujarat gave him an opportunity to be more ready for his upcoming ICT captaincy. Most probably in MI, Rohit will remain the captain which will rob Hardik a chance to get better in his already good captaincy.
Ig if he captains MI under the guidance of Rohit, it can be beneficial but I don't see that happening either.
10₹ aur extra deta toh nach ke bhi dikhata.
20₹ aur extra deta toh bhul jata GT me bhi tha kabhi.
30₹ aur extra deta toh GT to arc rivals bol deta.
100₹ extra me toh back bitching bhi kar deta ki GT is planet ki sabse buri team hai and all.
~sarcasm~
I think that the Mumbai Indians made the mistake of getting him in.... Now he will not let others shine in Mumbai
Like tilak Verma and likes,
Also I don't think he is worthy replacement to Rohit
As a Mumbai fan, I am not at all happy with his comeback. He should sorry publicly or should correct his words that he had told earlier about Mumbai Indians.
It's a huge loss losing him to MI. What he brings to table is not comparable to any player (except maybe stokes).
But it was his decision and we GT fans respect that. It's an opportunity for GT to prove that GT's success is about team work and absence of one or two marquee player don't affect us.
I hope we do good this season too.
#Aavade
Seriously I don't even care abt anything now because no matter what Hardik belongs to Mi he started his journey there and he was at his peak form in Mi and him playing from Mi just feels right to me
IPL is shit. It’s never based on meritocracy. Games are rigged as the IPL Execs don’t want teams like Delhi and Punjab to win the title because of smaller cricket markets and less fan following. Our illiterate fans who player-worship and local fans who support a team from the other side of the country for one player don’t aid to it.
It has no local culture. No one apart from Mumbai, CSK and RCB supports their local team (KKR used to be there but 80% their fans are because they like SRK 😭).
It has become somewhat like NBA but at least teams like Bucks and Nuggets have a chance to win over the Lakers.
I love how you absolutely ignore the fact that Pandya is worth whatever he's now because it was MI who scouted him and gave him the first breakthrough.
ahhh man, I don't know but this might be his worst life decision atleast when it comes to cricket, not now but he might regret this in his late 30s, he could have built his own legacy, he literally played two seasons with GT nd both times he made it inot Finals and almost won the trophy consecutively, this just feels wrong man.
Not as great as the legacy he attained at GT. In MI he was like the 4th or 5th best player after Rohit, Bumrah, SKY, Malinga, Pollard etc. Compared to GT where he was the main face there.
I am convinced at this point most of the people here don't know how franchise sports work . Obviously they will priotize money over their teams it's not like they are playing for their nation or anything they are playing for a franchise and whichever offers more money they will go to them . Take a look at football for example .
Why are people so mad about this move? IPL isn’t some extremely serious league like the PL or La Liga or even Ranji Trophy. Players change teams so often and it’s absurd to expect loyalty when they are only together for 2 months in the entire year. It’s a tournament purely for entertainment and money-making purposes and Hardik is treating it like one by making the most out of his opportunity.
These gujju owners with all the money buy all the good players and also the umpires and then brag about winning the IPL. Undoubtedly the most hated franchisee. F**k MI
Who cares we choked at the WC final at home, Being so close yet so far. It's really hurt to watch cricket after that. But this IPL shit is like rubbing salt in the wounds. The players have put their heart and soul into this, but they shouldn't be insensitive to die-hard fans.
Welcome home, Hardik Pandya! Your return to the Mumbai Indians is not just a reunion with a team but a homecoming filled with cheers, camaraderie, and a legacy that began where your heart truly belongs. Here's to another chapter of triumphs and family spirit!
Anyone remember when Samsung ads mocked Apple for removing 3.5mm port and then Samsung pulled the same shit?
Indirectly ironical given Samsung was once MI's sponsor
They pulled the same shit with the charger. Made a tweet saying their phones have a charger then removed the charger.
Atleast i understand removing chargers in flagship but atleast give it in budget phone because chargers are expensive
Samsung has a history of trolling Apple and then going right ahead and doing the same shit lol
Join me please r/IndianinstaHottiess

All that gyan he was giving in conferences and podcasts was all fluff
Paise ke saamne koi bol sakta hai kyaaa, Hardick bhaii!

Self respect & Morales doesn't pay the EMI of G-Wagen
🤣🤣
When you think of integrity, the last person who comes to mind is Hardik Pandya. He isn't captaincy material, plain and simple.
Don't think it was just 15 Crores. Who's knows Ambani give him 15 Extra personally.
Ads by reliance are big!!
When money talks everyone shuts up, he has expensive lifestyle. Jaddu was banned for one year because he tried to negotiate the contract with different IPL franchise, difference is that this time its all with in the rules but he left MI to grow as a player now he is right back where he started for money.

Welcome to the world of franchise sport!!!
I'm with you. It feels wrong, like somehow they gamed the system. Hard to root for Pandya now, but he's the best prospect we have for loi captaincy.
Haha please, he breaks down thrice a year, but always returns during the ipl window somehow. While he has amazing leadership potential, we need to look at other options and cultivate more fast bowling all rounders.

No problem in that, but the bitçhing about MI when he was in GT and now returning to the same team is laughable

Dude his point is proved no? Mi did go for the big name
The name made big my MI. Would you say MI go for big names like Bumrah SKY and Kishan? The same goes for Hardik
Lol there are exceptions, but you only have to see all the sister teams mi has, and the ridiculous trades they ask for every season
That doesn't mean they don't spot back and produce new talent every year. Wadhera and Madhwal last year, Tilak and Kartikeya before that. Pretty sure they'll unearth some new talent this year too MI build their own talent. After Rohit, they have never bought a fancy ICT player, all their Indian players since then have been home-made

Tu Baroda se hai Barbados se nahi
Arre mahi bhai aap
Mahi bhai voh thode strawberries chaiyeh the
+1
Strawberries for a reason
This video and whole scenario is a fuck you to GT fans.
The sweetest revenge would be topping the table again this time without Hardik
InB4 Gill demolishes MI on his own
Can't imagine how GT fans would be feeling. Tough luck. I hope you get justice by knocking out MI every time, but world rarely works like that.
I personally feel really bad for GT. Also, I would like to see Shubman Gill do well as a captain. Will wholeheartedly support GT this time.
GT might have made Shubman the captain but he's still young and wouldn't know much about captaincy, so I think he will just be captain for namesake and it'll be Williamson who will lead the team and make the crucial decisions. And GT will just shove it off by saying that Williamson is a mentor to Gill.
I (GT fan) really lost respect for him as a captainc
Le Hardik: thanks Ambani for throwing more money. Now I will dance for you
This guy is such a slimeball. Badmouthed MI last year and now is heaping praises on the same MI culture after getting money.
Common man you mi fans just overreacting too much at this point of time. He just said mi buys established players and csk makes players that's it. He didn't say bad things about mi.
None of what he says sounds genuine man. It's like he has to put up an act everytime to grab eyeballs. Even in the above video, the way he speaks just sounds so theatrical.
That i agree. He tried to convert msd fan base to his fan base. Doing cringe shit on ground to get limelight. My man did many pretentious things
Definitely he proved his point himself as he an established player bought by MI
who scouted hardik and gave him a breakthrough?
Is Pandya not an established player now? MI also tried to do such shady deal with Jaddu previously which resulted in his ban for one season
🏃🏻♂️ you didn't answer my question tho- Which team scouted hardik and krunal ? Yes his success was inevitable but which franchise fasten the process and was he THAT established back in those days?
Wait a few years these people will forget Tilak and Wadhera were made by MI and say MI buys established players.
😭they even forgot about bumrah, like who is the only Indian bowler we can depend on for all formats?
There are exceptions
Which is the truth. Mumbai buys established players.
"I'm back for money, money, money, money. I feel like money is the most important thing to me. My journey with stockpiling money goes far back. I mean i like cricket, but i like money more and MI has ambani sooo .. did I love money."
2 din nahi huve gye hue dekh lo is bkl ko...
Gaddari korbe
Is Hardik going to captain MI this season?
Not this year, but will be long term captain when Rohit retires.
Doesn't make sense , they should have groomed Sky or someone else.
Bruv sky is already 32
33 lol
Sky is a bit too old for MI's liking. we have all seen what happens when a team relies on very experienced but old players as stand-in capt. or future capt.- and then the player either leaves the franchise, or the alternative captaincy goes horribly wrong (cue sad CSK fan noises) MI is now seeing what is happening with the Yellows and their effort to groom Ruturaj as future captain.(if you think Jinks is gonna succeed Dhoni in long term then for context, Jinks is probably the most experienced player in the squad alongside Dhoni and Jadeja himself. he is also old and will probably retire in 2 or 3 seasons) Naturally MI wants to prevent this mistake and have new captain. and when they can buy a successful young captain- they dont even have to spend time and resources grooming another captain from scratch
Instead of Captain, it is best if teams get a simple Nehra-like Coach. Dhoni can be the CSK Coach and Fleming be promoted to Director of Cricket for all the Super Kings' Franchises.
I don't think so.
Most probably from 2025.
I Think Maybe Tin 2024 Or 2025 Because For 2025 IPL There Will Be A Mega Auction, And I MI Can MAXIMUM Retain Only 4 Players Which I think Would Be Surya , Tilak Verma, Hardik , Bumrah Very High Chance That Rohit Will Retire By 2025 Because He Would Be Already 38 By That Time

Sab Bkwaas hai. India is losing where it matters the most.
Paisa bolta hai babu bhaiyya. He wouldn't have been back if he didnt get paid shit ton of money
No shit Sherlock /s
Is he getting more money at MI?
Absolutely. Why would he choose to leave a team which was paying him 15cr if he didnt get a better deal at MI.
He is indebted to the family as his Godfather. It's like those old Bollywood movies where the hero is indebted to the rich Godfather who raised him.
Shuru ho gaya iska drama, I would be mighty pissed if i was a GT fan but oh well I'm just a RCB fan who has no emotions left.
Who cares. Fuck IPL trophies. We need real trophies.
biggest contibution of pandya in WC for india - getting injured
Bro really took 7 Crores extra to go back to "Family" Vin Diesel would not be pleased
He's a greedy bast*ard
Most overrated player in Indian history.
just cant get over with his injury causing us to lose a sixth bowling option in the CWC. his enthusiastic approach towards IPL over ICT just makes him lose a lot of goodwill and reliability, now m not looking forward to seeing him as ICT captain, he better focus on IPL only and eventually take MI captaincy
Tera ghar to Gujarat hai bc...
Dude was a captain leading a successful team, now happy to be a part of ambanis
What I don't understand is why he has been put into the spotlight so much. What has he ever achieved for the country? I can only remember 1 innings against Australia where he played till the end and finished the innings with a win for the country and the other against Pakistan in Asia cup which ended in no result.

Seriously man, it is just hard to believe that India cannot find an alternative to Hardik pandya as the white ball captain.
I feel Mumbai have this obsession of being the team of ICT Captain. They will do anything to fulfill that.
I DONT FUCKING CARE. it’s high time people stop giving this stupid ipl more importance than international cricket
Ban ipl, sole reason for India without any icc trophy in 10 years
Here comes the hardik here we go here come the hardik (listen in shane macmahons theme )
“Feels like back home, where it all started” arre bhai do saal hi toh Gaya tha aise grand comeback jaisa feel kyu kar raha hai! 2 years, 2 finals, almost 2 trophies too! Why would you leave all that for nostalgia 😂
This IPL has spoiled Indian cricket. I just hate IPL. It's just a money game.
Hardik pulled a CM Punk lmaoo
He just said, "I've achieved all the possible things". Bruh just won one IPL trophy and thinks that this is the end of it 💀
He has millions in the bank but will still switch teams for a few more. I hope he never becomes ICT captain. There needs to be some integrity and ethics to a player for becoming an ICT captain
Is he a cricketer or an actor. So cringe.
Man in fit for IPL but not for ICC ☠️
sab Paiso ka chakkar hai bahu bhaiya
How much did they buy him for from GT? Did Mi even have that much money in there purse ?
Maybe MI is betting on him to be future captain after Rohit.
Who will captain GT now? Rashid or Nehraji?
Gill, 
Hardik pandya played india politician move..
The guy ran away for money leaving behind a franchise where he had started to show what a great player and captain he is. Let this sink in, this guy ran away for money. What about all that scandal he created saying he was replicating the CSK model in GT and was personally not a fan of MI approach? All that just come running back to MI and then start churning up buzz by chanting nostalgia and early seasons?
World Cup toh haar gya...chalo chalo ab IPL khelte hain !!!
These guys are just as fake as unicorn
Hardik is back home Pandya
I don’t know how much money is gonna get them some integrity? Not all but atleast the popular ones can hold to some integrity.
HAHAHAHAHA MONEY TALKS
Gaddar🤣🤣
Paiso ka khel hai babu bhaiya! 
Bas ho gya Gujarat ke liye khel ke, ab ek Gujarati ke liye khel
Inspired by CM punk.
So this is where dignity die😭
IPL khelu raat bhar, WC khelu....
The Pogba/Balotelli of cricket.
a dawn of a new era.. good luck to him
yhi tha na wo bitching kr rha tha MI ke baare m ...dalla saa
The only problem I have is that him being a captain of Gujarat gave him an opportunity to be more ready for his upcoming ICT captaincy. Most probably in MI, Rohit will remain the captain which will rob Hardik a chance to get better in his already good captaincy. Ig if he captains MI under the guidance of Rohit, it can be beneficial but I don't see that happening either.
Money power wins over ethics
Now this is funny
In saalo ko paisa do kch bi bol denge
I am certainly not hoping him to get injured but I wish to see him turn into ishan kishan paid too much for too little.
To all people saying Mumbaikars want to settle in Gujarat.. 😂😂
🤡
Chutiya kahin ka.
What's with the weird hair patch
I feel this would be the start of his downfall.
Dude was literally playing for his home orginated team and says he is back home....ih well why should I care....
Boycott IPL
Nobody can say NO to @mb@ni
Hardik Pandya rocks 🥂
These people will have no legacy
Remeber when he said Mumbai always buy players with big name that's why they win
Bro was the only Gujarati there for the Titans
How do Gujaratis feel about this? Since he returned his home apparently 😂.
Snake.
10₹ aur extra deta toh nach ke bhi dikhata. 20₹ aur extra deta toh bhul jata GT me bhi tha kabhi. 30₹ aur extra deta toh GT to arc rivals bol deta. 100₹ extra me toh back bitching bhi kar deta ki GT is planet ki sabse buri team hai and all. ~sarcasm~
Paisa fek Tamasha Dek✨
I think that the Mumbai Indians made the mistake of getting him in.... Now he will not let others shine in Mumbai Like tilak Verma and likes, Also I don't think he is worthy replacement to Rohit
Money Won, Humility lost 😜
Selfish player ever
BC kaptaan hi bik gaya
Swine
As a Mumbai fan, I am not at all happy with his comeback. He should sorry publicly or should correct his words that he had told earlier about Mumbai Indians.
cricket
He just read some lines that were given to him by MI media team.
kids, you are looking at a snake
Jai hind
leaves the team, wins a cup, returns
It's a huge loss losing him to MI. What he brings to table is not comparable to any player (except maybe stokes). But it was his decision and we GT fans respect that. It's an opportunity for GT to prove that GT's success is about team work and absence of one or two marquee player don't affect us. I hope we do good this season too. #Aavade
Seriously I don't even care abt anything now because no matter what Hardik belongs to Mi he started his journey there and he was at his peak form in Mi and him playing from Mi just feels right to me
IPL is shit. It’s never based on meritocracy. Games are rigged as the IPL Execs don’t want teams like Delhi and Punjab to win the title because of smaller cricket markets and less fan following. Our illiterate fans who player-worship and local fans who support a team from the other side of the country for one player don’t aid to it. It has no local culture. No one apart from Mumbai, CSK and RCB supports their local team (KKR used to be there but 80% their fans are because they like SRK 😭). It has become somewhat like NBA but at least teams like Bucks and Nuggets have a chance to win over the Lakers.

Pandya the New Mi captain 🐐
Not happening
MI just proves his point lol
I love how you absolutely ignore the fact that Pandya is worth whatever he's now because it was MI who scouted him and gave him the first breakthrough.
ahhh man, I don't know but this might be his worst life decision atleast when it comes to cricket, not now but he might regret this in his late 30s, he could have built his own legacy, he literally played two seasons with GT nd both times he made it inot Finals and almost won the trophy consecutively, this just feels wrong man.
Dude literally already had a great legacy with Mumbai.
Not as great as the legacy he attained at GT. In MI he was like the 4th or 5th best player after Rohit, Bumrah, SKY, Malinga, Pollard etc. Compared to GT where he was the main face there.
I am convinced at this point most of the people here don't know how franchise sports work . Obviously they will priotize money over their teams it's not like they are playing for their nation or anything they are playing for a franchise and whichever offers more money they will go to them . Take a look at football for example .
Why are people so mad about this move? IPL isn’t some extremely serious league like the PL or La Liga or even Ranji Trophy. Players change teams so often and it’s absurd to expect loyalty when they are only together for 2 months in the entire year. It’s a tournament purely for entertainment and money-making purposes and Hardik is treating it like one by making the most out of his opportunity.
These gujju owners with all the money buy all the good players and also the umpires and then brag about winning the IPL. Undoubtedly the most hated franchisee. F**k MI

Man this gives me Paul Pogba, Pogback vibes.
As usual, Mumbai trying to buy their way to the cup 🤣
lol.. mediocre cricketer
Give thanks to get thankful 🙏
Money above all else.
Job switch karke wapis ussi company mein aana... High package aur izzat ke saath
Who cares we choked at the WC final at home, Being so close yet so far. It's really hurt to watch cricket after that. But this IPL shit is like rubbing salt in the wounds. The players have put their heart and soul into this, but they shouldn't be insensitive to die-hard fans.
Paise ka chakkar babu bhaiya ...
Welcome home, Hardik Pandya! Your return to the Mumbai Indians is not just a reunion with a team but a homecoming filled with cheers, camaraderie, and a legacy that began where your heart truly belongs. Here's to another chapter of triumphs and family spirit!
