"I think that is something out of my control" - MI captain Hardik Pandya on being banned for IPL 2025 clash vs CSK for over-rate offense

Hardik Pandya will not be available for MI's opening match of IPL 2025 against CSK as he received a one-match ban for breaching the over-rate rule three times last season. Speaking about it during MI's pre-season press conference, Hardik said:

"I think that is something out of my control. Last year what occurred was part of the sport, I think we bowled one and a half or two minutes late. At that point of time I did not know the consequences of what could happen. It is unfortunate, but it is the rule. Now will they continue with this rule next year, I think it is up to the higher authorities. They can see into it, and how it can be done."

Pandya continued:

"I am lucky that I have 3 captains playing with me. If I need help, I know that there are 3 different minds who have led India in different formats. Surya obviously leads India as well. So, when I am not there, he is the ideal choice in this format, and an exciting one too."
