What a day for Hardik Pandya! The star all-rounder who joined the Mumbai Indians in 2015 for just a meagre amount of Rs 10 lakh is the skipper of the same franchise. Playing his 100th match for the team that gave him everything, Pandya was presented with a special jersey.
Another Mumbai Indians legend, Lasith Malinga, handed the all-rounder the jersey with his name and the number 100 imprinted on it. He stood there with a bright smile, while his teammates applauding his milestone moment before the start of the second inning in the RR vs MI match.
