WATCH: Hardik Pandya reveals his superstitions

India and Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hardik Pandya is known for his aggressive batting in the international circuit. The right-handed batsman has played some brilliant innings for both India as well as his IPL side Mumbai Indians earlier. 

In a video released by the MI franchise, Hardik talks about the number of bats he has, how he chooses them and superstitions. 

“I think 15 bats,” he says while counting them. “I bat with almost a new bat in every innings. I like checking the bats in the game. There are lots of people who are picky about it but it doesn’t make any difference to me. A bat is a bat,” Pandya further said. 

Talking about superstitions, the right-hander said that he is not someone who is really superstitious. “I like to be less superstitious than anyone so yeah I don’t have any ‘totka’ (superstition). I don’t believe in them,” the batsman added.

Hardik Pandya hasn't been bowling because of shoulder niggle: Mahela Jayawardene

Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene has revealed the reason as to why Hardik Pandya hasn’t been bowling during the matches. Pandya hasn’t been given the bowl due to the shoulder niggle that he picked up during the series against England at home. “…we were looking forward for him to be bowling this season… he was coming back from an injury already, but after those matches against England, the last ODI, I believe he picked up niggle, so that is something that we are nursing at the moment,” Jayawardene said during a virtual press-conference. The former Sri Lanka captain suggested that the team management wants Hardik to be fully fit to bowl. “We don’t want to risk it, because it is important that we make sure that he (Hardik) is in a position to comfortably come in and bowl,” Mahela said. The Mumbai Indians have won two out of the three matches that they have played so far and are placed at number three spot in the points table. They last defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai after defending a total of 150 runs in 20 overs. SRH started the chase in a decent manner after openers Jonny Bairstow and David Warner provided them with a steady start as the two batsmen out 67 on the board for first wicket in the 8th over. But Bairstow’s departure for 43 saw a fall of wickets at regular succession and the Hyderabad-based franchise were soon reduced to 130/7 before getting bundled out for 137 to lose the match by 13 runs. Trent Boult and Rahul Chahar picked up three wickets apiece during the course. MI will now lock horns with Delhi Capitals on Tuesday in Chennai.
