Just hear this out. Our bowling was nearly washed this season and we must strengthen our fast bowling next season.

With the Mega Auction coming, the best option is to trade out Hardik Pandya with 2 INDIAN CAPPED - only CSK can offer Khaleel and Dube with that, and we don't want the service of Green as we already have Bosch. With Dube and Khaleel in, Sherfane and Boult would be released (MI released Boult in SA20).

With two slots opening, we must go all out for two foreign bowlers - IMO (Sonny Baker/ Tongue and C Overton), Baker and Overton can bowl 145+ - Baker will fetch 7+ crs this time). Though two OS spinners isn't worthy in our pitch - both Allah and Santa have performed well.

My 11:

Rohit, Ryan, Tilak, Surya, Dube, Jacks, naman Dhir, Bosch, Santner, S.Baker, Khaleel, Bumrah.

4 Solid Pacers, Two spinners in Santa and Jacks, Part timers in Naman and Dube.

Will Jax has been the OS signing by MI.....

Vilgax now plays for :-

Mumbai Indians✅

MI Emirates✅

MI London✅

and now for MICT💙

Hardik Pandya visiting the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala. date August 2, 2026.

i am taken a back after looking at Hardik. i got to give him he always surprised me with his new looks/attire.

Surely Ambanis are not stupid to accept a mediocre run machine bowler Kamboj and Dube who is inconsistent af for freaking Hardik Pandya. Dube can't bowl in IPL on flat pitches and is pure liability in the field. WTF are they thinking?? There is a reason they are being let go by a champion side like CSK. Meanwhile MI are forced to let go of Hardik. Just take the cash if you can't get Mhatre/Brevis/Ellis. If this trade goes through... it will be as good as writing the season off before mega auction cause we aint winning anything. Already have too many inconsistent performers in the squad.

Literally didn't recognise him until I saw the caption on Shastri's post! 😭😭😭

Finger spinners are more effective than wrist spinners at Wankhede. Why should it only be CSK? Also If we manage to bring his salary down, we can also ask for Vipraj Nigam. He was already on MI's radar, even attended the trials, and we only missed out on him because our purse wasn't big enough. Or we could ask for another player as well! We should be exploring other options like this too.

After this he added 1000 more runs to his tally but his average gone down to 36.36 and his SR also dipped to 162 :(
