Hardik Pandya's performance in IPL 2025

Hardik Pandya led the Mumbai Indians well this season. They had lost four out of their first five games and were at the bottom of the table early on. However, they made an exceptional comeback to win six games in a row before crashing to a close defeat against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their last match.

So far, Hardik has scored 158 runs with the bat from eight innings at an average of 26.33 and a strike-rate of 168.08 with a top score of an unbeaten 48. However, he has been impressive with the ball, more than his performances with the bat.

Hardik Pandya is the joint second-highest wicket-taker for Mumbai Indians this season. He has picked up 13 wickets from 11 games at an average of 19.76 and an economy rate of 9.17 with best figures of 5/36, providing the team with key breakthroughs in the middle.

With two games to go, MI will have to win both the games if they are to strengthen their chances of qualifying for the playoffs. Hardik will be keen to lead from the front during this crucial phase of the tournament.
