What did Rohit Sharma say?
Rohit Sharma said in an interview given to Geo Cinema without taking any name – To be honest, the same story will happen again which has happened with Bumrah, Hardik and all these people. Same story will happen with people like Tilak Verma and Nehal Wadhera. Look at the next two years and then people will say, hey, this is a superstar team.
Rohit further said, ‘Brother, we are making it here, man. We’re going to see them. Our team is going, watching and bringing them back. Rohit Sharma gave the example of Akshar Patel here along with Jaspreet Bumrah, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya.
Rohit Sharma also talked about Quinton de Kock and Trent Boult. Both the players were traded by Mumbai and joined them. Rohit said that other teams did not want to keep him. We got the best out of them.
Hardik was sold for 10 lakhs
The scout of Mumbai Indians is considered the best in the IPL. They sometimes bring in players who don’t even have T20 experience. Nehal Wadhera had not played any T20, List A or First Class match till the IPL 2023 auction. Hardik Pandya was bought by Mumbai Indians in 2015 for Rs 10 lakh after going unsold in the IPL 2014 auction. He was part of the franchise till 2021. In 2016, Hardik got a chance to debut in Team India. Mumbai bought Bumrah in 2013 and Krunal in 2016 for the first time.
