When I go out for toss, cheer for me: Hardik Pandya to MI fans
Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya has issued a heartfelt plea to the fans ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. In a recent interview, Pandya urged the fans to support him and cheer for him during the tournament, especially when he goes out to bat or participates in the toss.
“When I go out to bat, cheer for me, when I hit a six, cheer for me. When I go out for toss, cheer for me,” Pandya said, emphasizing the importance of fan support.
This plea comes after a tumultuous season last year, where Pandya received criticism from a section of the fans for his inconsistent performances on the field. Despite being the captain of the team, Pandya struggled to live up to expectations, and the fans’ dissatisfaction was palpable.
Pandya, however, has taken it upon himself to turn things around this season. He has been working tirelessly in the nets, honing his skills and improving his game. The all-rounder has also been vocal about his commitment to the team and his desire to lead MI to victory.
The fans, in turn, have responded positively to Pandya’s plea. Many have taken to social media to express their support for the captain, using hashtags like #CheerForHardik and #MIStandWithHardik.
Pandya’s appeal has also resonated with his teammates, who have praised his leadership and dedication to the team. “Hardik is a true leader, and his passion for the game is inspiring,” said a team insider. “We all support him, and we’re confident that he’ll lead us to victory this season.”
The IPL 2025 is expected to be a closely contested tournament, with several teams vying for the top spot. Mumbai Indians, under Pandya’s leadership, will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing performance last season and make a deep run in the tournament.
In the build-up to the tournament, Pandya has been working closely with his coaches and team management to fine-tune his strategy and prepare his team for the challenges ahead. The all-rounder has also been focusing on his fitness, knowing that he needs to be at his best to lead his team by example.
The fans, too, have a crucial role to play in MI’s success this season. By cheering for Pandya and the team, they can provide the necessary motivation and energy to drive the team forward.
As Pandya has said, “When I go out to bat, cheer for me, when I hit a six, cheer for me. When I go out for toss, cheer for me.” The fans have responded enthusiastically, and it remains to be seen how this newfound support will impact MI’s performance in the upcoming tournament.
One thing is certain, however – with Pandya at the helm and the fans behind him, Mumbai Indians will be a formidable force to reckon with in the IPL 2025.
