'My captain Shreyas. My team Punjab': Hardik Pandya reacts after foregoing MI captaincy and joining PBKS
Hardik Pandya has completed a blockbuster trade to Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore, posting a viral message backing captain Shreyas Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting.
Hardik Pandya has made it clear that Shreyas Iyer will be his captain while he joins Punjab Kings, as he announced in a short Instagram post following his trade from Mumbai Indians. The move comes after Mumbai struggled with poor results and fan discontent during his second spell as captain. Hardik's decision to forego the captaincy role in Mumbai may help him focus on playing rather than leading, and the Punjab team appears well-placed with Iyer and head coach Ricky Ponting guiding the squad.
Meanwhile, Arshdeep Singh, who has taken 111 wickets in 96 IPL matches, will join Mumbai Indians as a veteran player.
