Chahal looking from back as Hardik Pandya smashes a six (X.com)
Hardik Pandya is all set to play his 100th IPL match for Mumbai Indians tonight at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. As the venue suggests, the opposition will be table-toppers Rajasthan Royals, who have only lost once in seven attempts so far in the ongoing edition.
Before Hardik takes the field for his special milestone, it is important to note that the star all-rounder, who has been also captaining the five-time champions this season, has not performed at his level best yet. Hence, there was no surprise that he was sweating it out before the all-important clash in Jaipur.
In a recent video posted by Mumbai Indians, Hardik was seen smashing a monumental six, while Yuzvendra Chahal, the leading wicket-taker of the franchise this season as well as the highest wicket-taker in the tournamentâs history, was watching it live from the back of the nets.
