Mumbai Indians (MI) will begin their IPL 2024 campaign against Gujarat Titans (GT) on March 24 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Tom Moody was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo: “Hardik Pandya has a team that will support him and take away the pressure of not being able to perform consistently. He will get support from his fellow players, both Indian and foreign, as he is a highly respected cricketer and performs well as an all-rounder. But when you lose two or three games, captaincy can be a completely different game. ‘He is strategically strong’ Suddenly people find faults in your captaincy, they find faults in the decisions taken by you. When you’re winning, you can make the strangest decisions and still have people look at them as strokes of genius. Hardik has experience as the captain of Gujarat Titans, he is strategically strong and will get the support of all the senior players, Indian and foreign.”
