The ex-cricketer praised Hardik Pandya, saying: his captaincy style is unique.

Hardik Pandya -led Mumbai Indians have qualified for the playoffs for the 11th time in the IPL. Earlier, when Hardik Pandya was made the captain of Mi last season, the five -time champion team disappointed and performed very poorly.

However, Hardik Pandya not only proved himself as captain, but has also performed brilliantly in IPL 2025. All -rounder has scored 161 runs in 12 matches and also took 13 wickets from the ball. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja has praised Hardik fiercely.

The style of his captaincy is different- Ajay Jadeja

Ajay Jadeja said during the discussion on Geostar, ‘Hardik has been fantastic, he has energy and his captaincy style is different. Unfortunately the previous season was not good. But he maintained restraint. He continued the way he captained. Whether he has been in GT or for Mumbai last year. He showed that he does not give up. Yes, there is an excellent analysis team that is helping them, but the energy that he brings is amazing.

He further said that, ‘It seems very good to see that last year, the player who saw a very difficult time, the same team, the same ground, the same fan- he has changed everything. Last year, the same fans were hooting on the same ground, but now they are cheering. You always want a leader like him, not just when you are winning, but still when you are losing. ‘

Mi qualified for playoffs

Mumbai Indians, which stumbled at the beginning of the tournament, finally qualified for the playoffs. Now they would like to finish the top two. For this, they will not only have to defeat Punjab Kings in the last remaining match in the league stage, but also to expect that Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab lose their last two matches. Let us know that both Punjab and RCB have qualified for IPL 2025 playoffs.
