Hardik seems to be in menacing form with the bat ahead of the World Cup, having overcome a back injury and a massive controversy following his sexist comments on a popular TV show.

Earlier, Hardik Pandya (32 off 15 balls) and Krunal (37*) provided the late order flourish as Mumbai Indians scored 168/5 in their 20 overs.

Hardik Pandya smashed 32 off 15 balls to power Mumbai Indians to 168 for five, a total which Delhi Capitals found too stiff to chase, going down by 40 runs.

Hardik Pandya's return to cricket was debated earlier this year but now, he is showing why he is the man who makes Mumbai Indians tick and Virat Kohli says is a must-have in the team.

Hardik Pandya has been in menacing form with the bat ahead of the World Cup, having overcome a back injury and the massive Koffee with Karan controversy.

As Lokesh Rahul turns 27, all-rounder Hardik Pandya posted a special message for his 'brother' on his birthday. Take a look.

Veteran Malinga was chosen as the Man of the Match against RCB for his bowling performance. But after the match, Sri Lanka ODI team skipper said that he is afraid to bowl Pandya in the World Cup.

Since his comeback in New Zealand, Pandya has shown more focus on the field and has been in tremendous form with the bat in the ongoing IPL

Hardik, on his part, praised openers Rohit (28) and Quinton de Kock (40) for the start the team got in the run chase.

After the innings of Pollard, many cricketers took to Twitter to express their excitement over the innings played by the West Indian.

While Pandya is a part of Mumbai Indians in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), Rahul is plying his trade for Kings XI Punjab and the two teams are set to face each other at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.

Pandya hit three sixes and one four in his unbeaten blitzkrieg and later picked up three wickets for 20 runs, including that of rival team skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, to help MI halt CSK at 133 for 8.

Pandya smashed an eight-ball 25 and then picked up three wickets to power Mumbai Indians to a 37-run win over Chennai Super Kings.

BCCI officials feel that the punishment cannot be bigger than the crime and the players have already paid for their mistake.

Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul were provisionally suspended by the CoA for their comments on chat show "Koffee With Karan" before the ban was lifted pending inquiry by the Ombudsman.

The spinning all-rounder also backed brother Hardik to continue the form he showed in Bengaluru on Thursday.

MI skipper Rohit Sharma believes that these mistakes shouldn't happen as they are game changers.

The CoA had addressed an email to Jain, requesting him to consider if he would be willing to assume the role and discharge the functions of the BCCI ethics officer.

Rohit Sharma's MI will take on Shreyas Iyer's DC in their opening match today at the Wankhede in Mumbai.
