‘Hardik Pandya, you’re not needed anymore’: All-rounder's Mumbai Indians exit stamped ...Middle East

Having missed MI's last two matches due to a back spasm, there have also been reports that he has been unofficially sacked as MI captain. Now, Srikkanth has put his thoughts forward about what Pandya's future at the Mumbai Indians might look like.

In their first year as a franchise, Hardik led them to the IPL title. In their second, 2023, Pandya led them to the top of the points table and a runner-up finish in a very close final. Before the 2024 season, MI decided to trade him in.

He was retained as captain for 2025, and after an initial stumble, led them through to a playoff finish. Last year, MI went from winning just 1 of their first 5 matches to winning 7 of their last 9, making it to the top four.

Because of a combination of illness and injury, Hardik Pandya has led the Mumbai Indians in only 8 of their 11 matches so far. Under Pandya specifically, MI struggled and managed just 2 wins in these 8 matches.

"Where will Hardik Pandya go next year?" - Srikkanth

Kris Srikkanth took to his YouTube channel and spoke about the issue. He said that since there are no official announcements, all dealings have already been made, and that Hardik Pandya's time with the Mumbai Indians is coming to an end.

"Then the question becomes — where will he go next year? Will he be traded or go into the auction?" said Srikkanth.

Hardik Pandya's form in IPL 2026

While his team's poor form has brought Hardik Pandya a lot of flak, it has mainly been amplified by his lack of form with both bat and ball. In his 8 matches, Hardik has made 146 runs at an average of just 20.85 and a strike rate of 136 - one that feels very un-Hardik.
