[Watch] When Rohit Sharma Lauded MI's Scouting Strategy Ft. Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya will return to MI before IPL 2024 [X.com]
In a recent development, famed Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya is all set to leave Gujarat Titans and join Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2024. With Hardik's return, Mumbai Indians are expected to become an unstoppable force in the tournament's upcoming season.
MI have had exceptional squads over the years, studded with superstars like Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard, etc. There's a reason why they have clinched the title five times, and a significant share of the credit for their dominance goes to their scouting team.
Considering their incredible ability to assemble a formidable team, skipper Rohit Sharma once credited the MI scouts in an interview.
Sharma, who has led Mumbai Indians to five titles during his tenure, explained how they identify young and talented players all over the world. He also revealed that they test them thoroughly before picking them in the IPL auction.
The Indian captain's statement responded to the critics, who undermine MI's achievements by accusing them of being blessed with superstars. In his reaction, Rohit explained how they buy these youngsters and fine-tune their skills, giving examples of Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah. He also predicted that Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera would achieve new heights in future.
The IPL retention list will be released soon, following which the teams will battle it out in the much-awaited mini-auction scheduled next month.
