Mumbai Indians won their fourth IPL title this year and a big reason for their success has been Hardik Pandya. At the start of the season when the top order was struggling, Pandya pulled them out of troubled waters with some scintillating batting.

He played some beautiful cameos down the order including some beautiful helicopter shots. Pandya’s quick-fire batting was quite often the difference between victory and defeat. The Indian all-rounder scored 402 runs from 16 matches at an average of 44.66. He also had the second highest strike-rate of the season with 191.42.
His batting wasn’t the only thing that impressed this season. Pandya was quite useful with the ball in hand. Although expensive, he provided some crucial breakthroughs. He scalped 14 wickets from 16 games this season.
Pandya is also a brilliant fielder making him a true all-rounder and a big asset to the Mumbai Indians franchise.

A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
