Star India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been retained by Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Gujarat Titans (GT) amid rumours of his transfer back to Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of player retention deadline on Sunday, November 26. Notably, there were widespread reports which claimed Pandya’s return to his old franchise where he played for seven seasons from his debut in 2015 to 2021.
However, ahead of the mega auction in 2022, Pandya was released by MI and was bought by the newly formed franchise Gujarat Titans. The all-rounder got the opportunity to lead the side at GT and tasted success in his first attempt itself by leading them to a title win in their debut season. He further led them to another final in 2023 where they lost against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the summit clash.
