Team India's and Mumbai Indians' pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah posted a cryptic story on Instagram, with the fans have related to Hardik Pandya's return to the decorated franchise ahead of IPL 2024. Bumrah's latest Instagram story read the words 'Silence is the best answer' as fans reckon he wishes to be the captain of the Mumbai Indians. However, Pandya's homecoming could have him succeed Rohit Sharma as skipper.

It proved to be an all-cash deal as the Titans got ₹15 crore in return. Director of Titans Vikram Solanki underlined that it was Pandya's 'desire' to shift his base back to the Mumbai Indians.

Notably, Bumrah has also unfollowed Mumbai Indians' official handles on social media.
