“Hardik Pandya has not done this …”: Sunil Gavaskar explains the reason behind MI’s incredible return

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar praised the Mumbai Indians team and his Captain Hardik Pandya. Impressed by the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025’s sensational return in 2025, he reported how the Hardik -led team managed to pull it. The season for MI was almost over after four of their first five matches in the tournament, but what was exceptional. MI won six consecutive matches after receiving serious controversy for the playoff race. He lost to Titans in Gujarat, who broke the streak of his victory but remains to play two matches in the playoffs race.

This year’s performance from MI was far better than the previous season when Hardik Pandya turned Rohit Sharma as the captain of the side. Unhappy fans also provoked Hardik during the entire version, not only in distant sports, but also at home. On the other hand, this year is completely separated because Hardik has got the support of the crowd and has been equally affected by his performance, especially in bowling.

“What we saw from last year till this year is from the fact that he had also got the support of the crowd. Last year, he was a bit unsolved with the fact that Mumbai crowds and Mumbai supporters were not really supporting him.

“And this is where we will see how they come back. And the way they have come back, we are talking about his thinking and we are talking about how his calm effect is. This is because he has not shown any feeling on the field. When he has turned on his back, he has also gone in the position of fielding.
