Suryaa Sports Desk: Following the completion of his trade from Mumbai Indians to Punjab Kings, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has shared his first reaction on social media. In his message, Pandya greeted fans in a traditional Punjabi manner and expressed his commitment to his new franchise.
Pandya stated his support for captain Shreyas Iyer, coach Ricky Ponting, his teammates, and the people of Punjab. He expressed enthusiasm about playing under the leadership of Iyer and the guidance of Ponting, while signaling his intent to contribute his all-round skills to help Punjab Kings win their first Indian Premier League title.
The trade saw Hardik Pandya move to Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore, while fast bowler Arshdeep Singh moved from Punjab to Mumbai Indians. Analysts suggest that Pandya’s arrival, given his experience with five IPL titles at Mumbai Indians and his time with Gujarat Titans, may strengthen the Punjab Kings squad. It remains to be seen if Pandya can lead the team to their first trophy in the upcoming season.
