Thrilled to welcome back Hardik, says MI owner

New Delhi: Mumbai Indians owners Nita Ambani and Akash Ambani both termed Pandya’s return as a “happy homecoming”.

“We are thrilled to welcome Hardik back home! It’s a heartwarming reunion with our Mumbai Indians family! From being a young scouted talent of Mumbai Indians to now being a team India star, Hardik has come a long way and we’re excited for what the future holds for him and Mumbai Indians,” Ambani said.

Her son Akash spoke about the balance that the all-rounder lends to any team.
