Welcome to the elite club, HP! 100 games in the Blue and Gold!
From a young, raw, 22-year-old in 2015, who instantly set the stage on fire with his blitz against the Chennai Super Kings, to a trusted mainstay in the Mumbai Indians lineup with both bat and ball, to now being the skipper. It’s been an emotional nine-year-long journey for our captain, Hardik Pandya, and it’s a day to celebrate. As he walks out for the toss against the Rajasthan Royals, it’s set to be the 100th time he’d be walking out wearing that Blue and Gold. Proudly.
Let’s roll the clock back and look at all the key milestone moments for Hardik at and for Mumbai Indians:
