Skipper Hardik Pandya on Monday reflected on Mumbai Indians' (MI) picks from the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega-auction and said that they have found the "right mix" of players.
Kishan found a new home in Sunrisers Hyderabad during the IPL 2025 mega auction at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia last week. The bid began on ₹2 crore, and MI straightaway got into action to ensure a reunion. Punjab Kings joined the action for the in-demand explosive wicketkeeper batter. As the bid escalated to ₹5 crore, MI pulled out, and Delhi Capitals decided to have a taste of the action. The back and forth continued, but PBKS stood in the firm position of taking away Kishan, with the bid standing at ₹10 crore. As things looked almost done and dusted, SRH arrived to add more firepower to their batting unit. They landed the winning bid, which stood at ₹11.25 crore.
Star India wicketkeeper-batter took to social media and shared a special message for his former Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Mumbai Indians (MI) after being signed by the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for the 2025 edition of the cash-rich league.
