Hello
Dhoni remained unbeaten on 20 off just four balls at a stunning strike rate of 500.
Pandya has been at the receiving end of the fans' anger ever since MI announced that he will captain the five-time champions.
Meanwhile, a pitch invader hugged former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma.
Following his switch from Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians in what has been seen as a coup and replacing Rohit Sharma as captain ahead of IPL 2024, Pandya was mercilessly subjected to boos and jeers by fans.
Having led Mumbai Indians to five titles, Rohit was surprisingly replaced by Pandya going into the upcoming season.
Pandya injured his ankle during India's fourth World Cup game against Bangladesh while bowling his first over of that match, and had to limp off the field with the help of the team physio. He did not play any further part in the tournament.
The way Pandya's transfer took place, Nehra feels that day isn't far away when IPL goes the European club football way.
While the hype around an Indian skipper will still be there Boucher expects Rohit to operate more freely with the bat.
Pandya’s posts on Instagram for this month have shown him walking around freely and without the ankle kept in a cast, which the source also pointed out that the road to achieving match fitness is ongoing.
Sources within the BCCI revealed that the 31-year-old's return would be tested with a stint in the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai in February.
