India's dynamic all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, born on October 11, 1993, has had a remarkable journey in the cricketing world. Since 2013, he has been a stalwart for the Baroda cricket team, showcasing his talent and tenacity time and again.

Pandya's tryst with glory began in the 2013–14 season when he played a pivotal role in guiding Baroda to victory in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. His remarkable performance, which included smashing eight sixes in an innings, underscored his potential as a game-changer. 

However, it was in the high-octane arena of the Indian Premier League (IPL) where Pandya truly came into his own. So, let's delve into his IPL career, statistics, salary, and records.



Hardik Pandya's IPL Career

His IPL journey commenced in 2015 when he was drafted into the Mumbai Indians squad. From then on, Pandya became synonymous with power-hitting, agile fielding, and delivering crucial overs with the ball. In the 2019 season, against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Pandya's blistering knock of 61 runs off just 31 balls steered Mumbai Indians to victory in a must-win encounter, showcasing his nerve and skill under pressure.

Despite his stellar contributions, Pandya's stint with Mumbai Indians came to an end ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. However, this marked the beginning of a new chapter in his IPL journey as he was signed by the newly formed franchise, Gujarat Titans, and entrusted with the responsibility of leading the team. Pandya rose to the occasion, leading Gujarat Titans to their maiden IPL title in 2022, thereby etching his name in history as the first captain to achieve such a feat in the franchise's inaugural year.

The following season saw Pandya's Gujarat Titans once again reaching the finals, although they fell short of clinching the title. In a remarkable twist of fate, the 2024 IPL season witnessed Pandya's homecoming as he returned to the Mumbai Indians after a two-season hiatus. Not only did he rejoin the franchise, but he also assumed the mantle of captaincy, succeeding the legendary Rohit Sharma.
