IPL 2018 : 5 Players who need to prove their worth to their Franchise

#2 Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians)

Rock Star... or Flop Star?

Without any doubt, the biggest success story in the 10-year history of IPL is that of Hardik Pandya. He has evolved into India's premier all-rounder across all the formats just 3 years after making his debut in IPL in 2015.

His hard-hitting and aggressive batting style, along with his exceptional fielding skills and medium-fast bowling, often proved vital and game-changing for the Mumbai Indians during their victorious campaigns in 2015 and 2017.

However, his form in the past 6 months, as well as his cocky and troublesome attitude, could be an issue for the Mumbai Indians. He failed to live up to the buzz around him during the South African tour and was often criticized for his batting style.

Despite the fact that Mumbai Indians retained his service for a mammoth sum of 11 crores, Pandya will have to perform big time in order to solidify his spot as the first choice all-rounder in the Mumbai Indians' team. Pandya will have to prove his worth as the rockstar of the team and help MI retain their title in 2018.
