Former Team India's cricketer Abhinav Mukund feels that if Mumbai Indians (MI) successfully trade Hardik Pandya, then the franchise should look to bring in an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman.
"If he (Hardik Pandya) does go to another side, I would think it should be a win-win for all parties involved. If you are talking about Mumbai Indians, the only thing, according to me, that was missing was an Indian wicketkeeper in there. That was a big miss for them because, in their top seven, they had to play either Ryan Rickelton or Quinton de Kock," he said on JioStar.
