5 Best buys by Mumbai Indians in IPL History

#5 Hardik Pandya

Another all-rounder in the list who has gradually gained the trust of the team with some excellent performances is Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya was bought for the base price of 10 lakh in 2015 auctions but he has delivered performances which are worth more than his price tag.

Getting to play only limited matches in first 2 years, he made his mark in those opportunities and has groomed himself as the years progressed. A stunning fact about Hardik Pandya is that his strike rate in 2015 IPL is 180.65 which supports the above-said statement. The flexibility in his batting position has yet again been an advantage for him.

With some fine performances with bat and ball, Pandya has become a mainstay in the team. In 50 matches he played for the team, he has scored 666 runs and claimed 28 wickets. Unsurprisingly, Pandya was retained by the team and will hope to bounce back after having a mediocre season this year.
