The IPL 2025 season kicked off with a match between KKR and RCB, but the spotlight is on the upcoming clash between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Ahead of the highly anticipated fixture, Hardik Pandya and MS Dhoni shared a heartwarming moment during a training session. Pandya was seen hugging Dhoni and even refused to let go, showcasing their camaraderie on the field. The duo engaged in a friendly chat before resuming their training. However, Pandya will miss the match against CSK due to a slow over-rate offence in the previous season, with Suryakumar Yadav leading Mumbai Indians in his absence. Stand-in captain Yadav acknowledged the challenge of filling the shoes of key players like Pandya and Bumrah, who is also unavailable due to injury. He expressed confidence in the team’s ability to step up and emphasized his focus on the process and hard work to deliver results on the field. Despite concerns about his recent form, Yadav remains optimistic about his performance in the upcoming matches.
