Hardik Pandya, the Mumbai Indians all-rounder has come out and stated that it is the presence of well-known cricket legends in the MI set-up that helps players like him grow and learn a lot while playing the Indian Premier League. 

Hardik Pandya's transformation and immense growth has been seen by these legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Mahela Jayawardene, Shane Bond, who has worked with him day in day out every two months since his IPL days started. 

It has given Indian Cricket a potential fast bowling allrounder to work with, big names in Indian Cricket like Virat Kohli, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ravi Shastri and MSK Prasad have a strong liking for him and they see immense potential. 

Hardik was recently quoted saying, "There are so many legends in the team and every day, we get to learn a new thing. So, it is a dream come true for me to play for Mumbai Indians," 

He has been one of the best players of Mumbai Indians in the ongoing Indian Premier League too. 

The Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians next play Delhi Daredevils in their last encounter of the league stage, a must-win game if they have to give themselves a chance to qualify for the playoffs as they are currently languishing vulnerable in the points table with only12 points across their 13 games. But, Hardik Pandya has been one big positive of the season for Mumbai Indians and Indian Cricket.
