Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya had an endearing interaction with a young fan at Chepauk Stadium during a practice session ahead of IPL 2025. Hardik and the MI squad recently landed in Chennai to prepare for their opening match of IPL 2025 against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), scheduled on Sunday (March 23) at Chepauk.
Hardik will miss the encounter as he serves a one-match ban for over-rate offense from IPL 2024, which carried onto this season's opening game. India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav will lead MI against the Super Kings this weekend.
Even though he will not play against CSK, Hardik has been working hard in the nets to prepare for the rest of the tournament. The Mumbai franchise posted a video on their X handle, giving a glimpse of an adorable moment involving Hardik Pandya and a little fan while he was signing autographs near the stands of the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
