Jasprit Bumrah, the pace leader for both the Indian cricket team and the Mumbai Indians, shared a mysterious Instagram story hinting at Hardik Pandya’s return to the team for IPL 2024.
Bumrah’s story, which conveyed the message ‘Silence is the best answer,’ has sparked speculation among fans about his possible desire to become the Mumbai Indians’ captain. While fans consider this, there’s a possibility that Pandya might take over the captaincy from Rohit Sharma upon his return.
In a surprising move during the retention and release list announcement, the Mumbai Indians secured Pandya’s return by striking a cash deal with the Gujarat Titans, who received ₹15 crore in exchange.
Vikram Solanki, the Titans’ Director, emphasized that Pandya expressed a ‘desire’ to rejoin the Mumbai Indians. Interestingly, Bumrah has taken the step of unfollowing Mumbai Indians’ official social media handles, adding another layer to the unfolding narrative.
