Follow UsHardik Pandya feels Mumbai Indians managed to find “the right mix” in the Indian Premier League 2025 auction. The MI captain said the team have covered all bases before the next edition of the tournament, and revealed he was constantly in touch with the concerned people at the auction.
“The auction dynamics are always tricky. You know when you are watching it live, it is very exciting and the emotions are always up and down because you want this player but sometimes you just lose. It’s very important to not be very so emotional and in the end, we have to create a whole team,” said the star all-rounder, who was given MI’s captaincy last year.
“I was in touch with the table as well, exactly who we are going for and I think we came out pretty well from the auction and how the team is looking. We have found the right mix, which is experienced players, like Boulty is back, Deepak Chahar, who has been around, and at the same time, young guns like Will Jacks, Robin Minz and Rickelton, who are fresh. So I think we have done pretty well. We have covered all the bases.”
Pandya also shared a message for the young talents who have been picked by the franchise. “My message, to all the young guns, who are joining Mumbai Indians this year is that if you are here, you have that spark, you have that talent, which the scouts have seen. They found me, they found Jasprit, they found Krunal, they found Tilak. They all eventually played for the country," he shared.
“All you have to do is show up, train, work hard and the best part is that Mumbai Indians has the facility to make them flourish.”
