However, SRH could not get the Baroda all-rounder. Hardik would later be brought by the Mumbai Indians in 2015. The pace-bowling all-rounder went on to have immense success for the franchise, winning trophies, and when he moved to the Gujarat Titans, Hardik also managed to win a title as the leader.
Clarifying the rumours on Pathan having with Hardik, Pathan said, the former on Lallantop said, “There’s no rivalry between me and Hardik Pandya. There’s nothing as such. No player from Baroda who went to the top can say that Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan didn’t support them at any specific time. Even VVS Laxman said that I regret that I didn’t listen to Irfan in 2012. If I had listened, then Hardik would’ve played for SunRisers Hyderabad. Laxman said that.”
