"Everything I've achieved in my life has been part of Mumbai Indians" - Hardik Pandya
With Pandya set to get another opportunity to lead the Mumbai Indians despite a horror run in the 2024 edition, the all-rounder recalled his journey with the franchise and is looking forward to enjoying with them again. He stated in a video uploaded by the Mumbai Indians:
"It's been fantastic. I think I have received a lot of love back. It means the world to me, reason being, as I've always mentioned, my journey started here. Everything I've achieved in my life has been part of Mumbai Indians. Playing again, every year is a special year, and this year is going to be an even more special year. We remember as a group 2013, 2015, 2017, '19 and '20. I think all of our fans know what happened on those years and we are going to come back in 2025 even stronger than that. You lose and win on the ground."
