After sizzling half-centuries from Heinrich Klassen, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head helped SRH amass an astonishing 277/3, the highest-ever score in the competition’s history, MI looked to get the chase done thanks to heroics of Tilak and other batters.

To top it all, veteran players like Anil Kumble, Ravi Shastri, Suresh Raina and Irfan Pathan have also taken a dig at Hardik Pandya on various occasions.

The former fast pacer also heaped praises on Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubhman Gill and said, “Welcome to captaincy, Shubman Gill. Bahut achi captany (sic) ki iss young captain ne.”

Throughout the match, Rohit remained in the spotlight with fans chanting ‘Rohit, Rohit’ despite not being the captain of MI anymore.

Meanwhile, the Hitman has stepped down as the skipper of MI and has been replaced by Hardik Pandya. They were spotted greeting each other with a hug during the MI’s training session.

As per Ashwin, MI’s move shows how desperate they are to regain the IPL crown.

Taking to his Instagram handle, the India captain shared a few pictures from the training session and fans cannot wait for the IPL 2024 to begin.

As the start of the 17th edition of IPL approaching soon, here are some players who can make an impact in the prestigious league this year.

Kishan was spotted emulating former Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga’s bowling action. Kishan did it in front of the Sri Lankan great. Malinga was seen laughing.

Worth mentioning, Pandya who led Gujarat Titans (GT) in 2022 and 2023, has returned to MI where he started his IPL career.

Former India pacer Praveen Kumar has slammed Hardik alleging that the all-rounder gets injured just two months before IPL.

Pandya posted pictures and videos from the first day of the training session of the MI camp showing his excitement going into the tournament with his old team.

As per Manjrekar, Pandya carries a bit of swagger alongside him and the likes of Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav playing under him will be entertaining to watch.

During the shoot, Pandya was served dhokla and jalebi. However, the India all-rounder was very clear that they were not good for his fitness. Although a person tried to convince him, he was adamant that he will not eat the food served to him. 

Yuvi (as Yuvraj is popularly known) acknowledged the challenges faced by seasoned players in franchise cricket, emphasizing the constant search for young talent.
