Even during the auction, Mumbai Indians did not show much interest in picking Ishan Kishan. Ishan Kishan was sold for Rs 1,125 crore at this year’s auction. Mumbai Indians stopped bidding for Kishan after the offer reached Rs 320 crore. His base price is Rs 2 crore. Mumbai Indians shared a video of Ishan Kishan. Hardik Pandya reveals shocking things about him.

Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya said in a video released on Sunday that he knows it will be difficult to bring back Ishan Kishan in the Indian Premier League’s mega auction due to his talent. Mumbai Indians shared two videos in which Hardik Pandya said that Ishaan is the energy and vitality of the team. “When we couldn’t keep him, we always knew it would be difficult to get him back in the auction because we knew what kind of player he was and what skills he had,” he said.

Hardik will miss Ishaan

Hardik Pandya describes Ishan Kishan as a pocket dynamo for Mumbai Indians. Ishan Kishan was a member of the Mumbai Indians for six years. The team won the IPL title twice from 2018 to 2024.
