Watch: Hardik Pandya Chanting 'Hare Rama-Hare Krishna', Shaking A Leg After Mumbai Indians' First IPL 2024 Win

Mumbai Indians (MI) have finally found the winning way in the ongoing India Premier League (IPL 2024) and their new captain Hardik Pandya would have felt some relief as the team opened up its account in the points table after losing three matches straight. Mumbai Indians earned their first win against Rishabha Pant's Delhi Capital by 29 runs on Sunday. And now, it looks like MI skipper Hardik Pandya wants to cherish every single moment after their maiden IPL 2024 victory.

A video doing round the internet shows Hardik Pandya thanking god, chanting 'Hare Krishna-Hare Rama', and joyfully shaking a leg. His family members and close friends accompanied the cricketer. The video also shows Hardik Pandya's brother Krunal Pandya, who plays for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) chanting bhajan and enjoying family time.

Earlier this week, Hardik Pandya offered prayers at Gujarat's Somnath Temple, where he performed Rudrabhishek (Poring milk on the idol of Lord Shiva) and chanted vedic mantras with folded hands.

Mumbai Indians Performance Under Hardik Pandya's Captaincy:

Five times champion Mumbai Indians' fortune was not in favor until Sunday as the team faced back-to-back defeats. Fans who were unhappy with Mumbai Indians team management's decision to replace Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as skipper left no chance to troll the new captain. Even at the stadiums, it was noticed that some fans booed Hardik Pandya for stepping into Rohit Sharma's shoes.

For the unversed, Hardik Pandya rejoined Mumbai Indians in a sensational trade from the Gujarat Giants for a whopping Rs 15 crore trade. It was reported that Hardik agreed to join Mumbai Indians only on the condition that he would lead the side. However, cricket lovers and Rohit Sharma fans did not like Mumbai Indians' decision to replace Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya and the team lost a big fan base.
