‘They found me, they found Jasprit…’: Hardik Pandya tells MI young guns on how hard work will help them flourish with help from franchise’s facilities | Cricket News
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya gave a message to the uncapped Indian players who the franchise bought in the auctions, saying that the facilities at the MI will help them become top cricketers in the future.
Naman Dhir, Robin Minz, Vignesh Puthur, Arjun Tendulkar, Bevan John Jacobs, Venkata Satyanarayana Penmetsa, Raj Angad Bawa, Shrijith Krishnan and Ashwani Kumar are the youngsters in the MI mix who will be looking to play international cricket in the future.
“My message to all the young guns who are joining Mumbai Indians this year is that if you are here, you have that spark, you have that talent, which the scouts have seen. They found me, they found Jasprit, they found Krunal, they found Tilak. They all eventually played for the country,” Pandya said in a video posted on the MI X account.

“All you have to do is show up, train, work hard, and the best part is that Mumbai Indians has the facility to make them flourish,” he added.
The skipper also said he was delighted on how the auction had turned out for Mumbai.
“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 (Trent Boult) 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,” he said.
