Mumbai Indians have had a pretty good season thus far and a big reason for that is Hardik Pandya. At the start of the season when the big guns weren’t firing, it was Hardik who pulled the team out of troubled waters many times with his big hitting.

He has played many cameos towards the backend of the innings that have turned out to be a difference maker for his team. He has scored 386 runs from 15 matches at an average of 48.25 and an impressive strike-rate of 193.

But it’s not just his batting that has helped Mumbai Indians. He has been quite handy with the ball as well. Although he has been expensive throughout the tournament, he still manages to pick up crucial wickets when needed.

He has taken 14 wickets from 15 games at an economy rate of 9.32. He is also a reliable fielder who can take some spectacular catches. Hence, Pandya is a big asset for MI and one of the reasons for their success.
