When Mukesh-Nita Ambani's Touching Gestures Moved Hardik Pandya In Tears, Here's What Happened

The vice-captain of the Indian cricket team, Hardik Pandya is one of the best all-rounders in the world. The 29-year-old right-handed batsman, who can also do wonders with his right-arm fast-medium bowling, is indeed a danger for the opposition. Apart from playing match-winning innings for the Indian cricket team in all three formats for some years now, Hardik is playing for Gujarat Titans in the IPL (Indian Premier League).

However, not everyone knows that before playing for Gujarat, he was a crucial player for Mumbai Indians. From making his IPL debut with Mumbai Razors back in 2015 to being released by the team in IPL 2022, Hardik will always be remembered as one of the best players ever to play for the Blues of Mumbai. However, after coming into Gujarat Titans, Hardik was named as the team’s captain. The cricketer returned the faith put in his abilities after he led Gujarat Titans to their first-ever IPL trophy in 2022.
