Mumbai Indians did not retain Hardik Pandya ahead of IPL 2022 Auction
Hardik Pandya's disappointing performances in 2021 have led to his release from the Mumbai Indians squad ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. The Mumbai-based franchise retained Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav ahead of him in the Indian department.
According to reports, the Ahmedabad franchise could approach Hardik Pandya ahead of the IPL 2022 Auction. It will be interesting to see if Pandya joins one of the two new teams ahead of the mega auction or decides to go under the hammer for the first time since 2015.
