Hardik Pandya has broken his silence after relinquishing the Mumbai Indians captaincy and joining Punjab Kings ahead of the 2027 IPL season.
In a social media post, Pandya wrote "My captain Shreyas. My team Punjab," referencing new Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer and confirming his move to the franchise.
The all-rounder had led Mumbai Indians for two seasons but stepped down from the leadership role earlier this week. His transfer to Punjab Kings marks a significant shift in the IPL landscape.
Punjab Kings, who have never won the IPL title, will hope Pandya's experience and all-round abilities can guide them to a maiden championship under Iyer's captaincy.
