The fact that the mumbai Indians have won the IPL five times is evidence of their excellent scouting operation, which finds talent across the nation. MI has long produced gifted athletes who have gone on to become the indian cricket team's stars. For over a decade, hardik pandya and jasprit bumrah have been consistent members of the Men in Blue team.
The rise to fame of hardik and bumrah, initially with the mumbai Indians and then with the indian cricket team, is a prime example of MI's ability to spot potential and provide the ideal environment for players to flourish.
The mumbai Indians' owner, Mrs. Nita Ambani, recently said that hardik and his brother, krunal pandya, met her for the first time. In 2015, hardik made his mumbai Indians debut, and the following year, he was capped by India.
Since then, he has accomplished a great deal, but MI's outstanding scouting system has been essential to his success. For the upcoming generation of cricket players, Hardik's journey—from becoming an all-rounder to captaining the team—is inspirational.
We have to come up with new strategies to get players since each club in the IPL has a certain budget that allows them to spend a certain amount of money. I recall going to every Ranji Trophy match and watching all of these domestic cricket matches with my scouts to look for talent. And two young, lanky, skinny lads were brought to the camp by our scouts one day," she recalled.
"They told me they haven't had any money for three years, so they've just eaten Maggi noodles during our conversation. However, I could see the drive, enthusiasm, and hunger they had to succeed. krunal pandya and hardik pandya were the two brothers. I purchased hardik pandya at auction in 2015 for USD 10,000, and he is now the mumbai Indians' proud captain.
