The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is all set to kick off from March 28

Ahead of the upcoming edition of the cash-rich league, Mumbai Indians’ (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya is all set to achieve a new feat for the franchise

The right-handed batsman is just 84 runs shy of completing 2000 runs for the Mumbai-based franchise in the history of the league

So far, having represented Mumbai Indians (MI) in 121 matches, the 32-year-old cricketer has amassed 1916 runs. His top score for the team is 91 runs, and also has four half-centuries

In the previous edition of the league, MI had qualified for the play-offs, but suffered a loss against Punjab Kings (PBKS) by five wickets. With this, the “Paltan” failed to seal their berth in the final of the IPL 2025
