In a video posted by Mumbai Indians on their social media handle, this is what Pandya had to say "The boys have played fantastically, can't ask for more. We've been kind of slow starters always but touchwood this year has been a good ride so far. Working on my batting, and things are coming pretty well. It's a matter of opportunity and it's about what the team requires when I go to bat," Hardik Pandya said in a video posted by Mumbai Indians.
