Cricket fans rejoice Hardik Pandya is back and ready to bowl in the upcoming IPL. This is a huge boost for both his team, Mumbai Indians, and the Indian national team leading up to the T20 World Cup.
Pandya had been sidelined since last October due to an ankle injury, but he assures everyone it's a one-time thing and unrelated to past issues. His return to bowling strengthens India's chances in the World Cup, where he'll be a key all-rounder.
The captaincy change at Mumbai Indians raised eyebrows, with Pandya replacing Rohit Sharma. However, Pandya downplays any potential awkwardness. Their long history as teammates (10 years!) assures a smooth transition. He acknowledges his respect for Rohit and their continued support for each other.
Meanwhile, the IPL is set to see the return of another star - Virat Kohli. After missing India's test series win against England for personal reasons, Kohli is ready to take the field again for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
