Hardik Pandya will not play the first match of IPL 2025
Actually, Mumbai Indians and MI captain Hardik Pandya has suffered a big shock before the start of the Indian Premier League 2025. Hardik Pandya has been banned from the first match of IPL 2025. In such a situation, Suryakumar Yadav or Rohit Sharma can be made the captain in place of Hardik Pandya. Let us tell you that the Indian Premier League 2025 can start from March 14. But even before this the troubles of Mumbai Indians have increased. If leaked reports are to be believed, Hardik Pandya will not be able to play the first match for Mumbai Indians.
Let us tell you that even before the IPL mega auction, Mumbai Indians had retained Hardik Pandya for Rs 16.35 crore and also selected him as their captain. However, now the news is coming that Hardik Pandya is out of the first match. The reason for this is that BCCI has banned Hardik Pandya for one match.
Actually, in the 17th season of IPL, this ban was imposed on the captain of Mumbai Indians due to slow over rate in 3 matches. This happened 3 times last season, when Mumbai Indians, under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, did not complete their overs within the stipulated time. Mumbai Indians had done this in the last match of Season 17, hence Hardik Pandya is now banned for the first match of the next season. Which means Hardik Pandya will not be able to play the first match of IPL 2025.
