Hardik led the GT side during their first two years in the IPL, in 2022 and 2023. He also led them to the IPL 2022 title in front of a massive home crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium. However, Pandya parted ways with the Titans after two seasons and returned to MI through an all-cash trade ahead of IPL 2024.

The star all-rounder recently reconnected with his former GT teammates during a training session in Ahmedabad. MI posted a video on its official Instagram handle to give a glimpse of Hardik Pandya's friendly meet-up with the likes of Shubman Gill, Ashish Nehra, Rashid Khan, and others. The post was captioned:

Hardik Pandya was forced to miss MI's opening match of the season against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday, March 23, due to an over-rate ban carried over from the previous season.

Suryakumar Yadav led the team in his absence, but Super Kings won the encounter comfortably by four wickets. Pandya will return to lead the MI side on Saturday against GT.
