By Himanshu Agrawal, Mar 29 (ESPN CRICINFO): Hardik Pandya was at the receiving end of the home fans' ire when he last played an IPL game in Ahmedabad. Last year, turning up as Mumbai Indians' (MI) captain against Gujarat Titans (GT), a side he had led to a title and back-to-back finals before being traded out, Hardik was booed by fans who had once hailed him as a hero. And now, as it turns out, his first game in IPL 2025 is against GT at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

The only sensible mash-up ever despite all the mix and match, and up and down. I would put it down to the incredible lyrics of all the songs.

I'm seeing Ayush Mhatre bat for the first time, but that technique, lack of foot movement, and the backlift, all belong to Prithvi Shaw already. #CSKvSRH
