When Hardik Pandya first burst on to the scene he wasn't particularly known for his spiritual or religious side. However, things are much different for the Mumbai Indians (MI) captain now as he can be seen participating in rituals from time to time, not shying away from showcasing his religious beliefs. In a recent Instagram post, Hardik along with his elder brother Krunal Pandya who is playing for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the ongoing IPL 2024, can be seen singing and dancing to the 'Hare Rama, Hare Krishna' bhajan.
The video has instantly gone viral on social media. Although Hardik just captioned the post: "Grateful", the date of his post coincides with the first day of Chaitra Navratri 2024.
Take a look at the viral video:
MI Taste First Win Of IPL 2024 With Win Over DC
As far as MI are concerned, they did not have a good start to IPL 2024 as they started with a hat-trick of defeats. However, in their most-recent encounter against Delhi Capitals (DC), MI registered a dominant 29-run win. While MI posted the highest total without a single batter scoring a half-century, making 234/5, in response, DC tried hard but could only mustrer 205/8 with Tristan Stubbs remaining unbeaten on 75 off 25.
As things stand, MI, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and DC are the last three teams on the table with 2 points each. MI have played a game less and have 2 points from 4 matches while RCB and DC have played 5 matches each but only have 2 points to show to their name. Rajasthan Royals (RR) with 4 wins from as many games are at the summit of the IPL 2024 points table. MI will lock horns with RCB in their next encounter on April 11 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
