Raj Angad Bawa: Hardik Pandya, the skipper of five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians, said he was in close contact with the coaching staff about the players he wanted from the recent mega auction in Jeddah and felt that the team for the 2025 season has come out really well.

At last month’s auction, MI brought in experienced overseas campaigners like Trent Boult, Will Jacks, Ryan Rickleton, Mitchell Santner, Lizaad Williams, and Reece Topley, as well as Indian players like Deepak Chahar, Naman Dhir, Robin Minz, Karn Sharma, Raj Angad Bawa, among others. They also got in little-known players like Allah Ghazanfar, Bevon Jacobs, Vignesh Puthur and Venkata Satyanarayana Raju.

"I was in touch with the table as well, exactly who we are going for and I think we came out pretty well from the auction and how the team is looking. We have found the right mix, which is experienced players, like Boulty is back, Deepak Chahar, who has been around, and at the same time, young guns like Will Jacks, Robin Minz and Rickelton, who are fresh. So I think we have done pretty well. We have covered all the bases," said Hardik in a video posted on MI’s social media accounts.
