IPL fever has gripped the entire country right now as teams released their respective retention lists yesterday, weeks ahead of the IPL 2024 mini-auction. However, speculations over the future of all-rounder Hardik Pandya refused to die down.

Meanwhile, in a dramatic turn of events, Gujarat Titans officially confirmed captain Hardik Pandya’s trade to Mumbai Indians. While the Titans retained Hardik yesterday, the news of the transfer caught the fans by surprise.

The details of the exchange are yet to be revealed. However, Gujarat is anticipated to receive an estimate of 15 crores in exchange for their skipper.

Subsequently, the Titans announced Shubhman Gill as the successor to Pandya, and the 24-year-old will lead the franchise from the 2024 season onwards.

That being said, Hardik Pandya’s trade to Mumbai Indians took the internet by storm, and cricket fans across the country stand divided over the all-rounder’s alleged move.

While MI fans were happy with Pandya’s homecoming, Gujarat fans, amongst many others, questioned Hardik’s true intentions behind the move. Former Indian cricketer and analyst Aakash Chopra also reacted to the same and shared an indirect message via his social media handle.

In a tweet, Chopra wrote that only once in life does an individual get an opportunity to choose between building a legacy or stalking up money. The choice made by the individual in that given situation defines the person’s character for the rest of their life.

While Chopra didn’t name anyone, fans were quick to judge that the tweet was directed towards Hardik Pandya. There is no denying the fact that MI is a relatively much bigger and better franchise compared to GT.

Moreover, the money and luxury associated with Mumbai Indians are much larger than those of any other team in the IPL. But to claim that monetary greed solely drove Hardik Pandya to MI is purely a subjective opinion framed without any factual grounds whatsoever.
