Hardik Pandya Returns After Viral Battle

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya is set to return for the team's match against Rajasthan Royals after recovering from viral illness.

Hardik Pandya missed Mumbai Indians' clash against Delhi Daredevils due to viral illness but is expected to return for the five-time champions' away match against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Tuesday. The all-rounder traveled with the team after the Delhi game and will resume training after precautionary rest.

MI lost to Delhi Capitals by six wickets after stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav revealed Pandya was unwell. The situation wasn't serious, with the management resting him as a precaution. Rajasthan Royals, currently topping the table, will be MI's next opponent.
