Hardik Pandya recalls emotional IPL debut for Mumbai Indians with heartfelt story

Mumbai Indians (MI) have produced quality players in the Indian Premier League (IPL)'s history, and Hardik Pandya is one of them. The all-rounder is not just MI's captain but is also a handy player for the Indian team in white-ball cricket. When it comes to any ICC event, Pandya stands tall for the team every time, proving how skilful he is. 

The five-time champions, MI, have always scouted players and given them a chance in the IPL. They did the same with Rohit Sharma, Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and many others. In 2015, the right-handed all-rounder made his debut for the franchise and is now leading the side. This is a story of a young boy who was passionate about playing cricket and gave his all once he started playing for MI. 

Pandya made his debut against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on this day, April 19, 2015. Unfortunately, he did not get a chance to bat and finished with figures of 0/20 in his 1 over. He later made a major impact, scoring an unbeaten 61 off 31 balls in his breakout game that season against KKR.
