Familiarity with the MI ecosystem
Hardik Pandya has been one of the first players to emerge out of the often-praised, Mumbai Indians scouting system. Similarly, Pandya also was part of four-title-winning MI teams between 2015 and 2020. Hence with this experience, Pandya is well-versed in the inner workings of Mumbai Indians, allowing him to seamlessly take control from Rohit Sharm and ensure the smooth sailing of the team.
