The timing of this buzz couldn’t be more perfect. Mumbai Indians, known for their slow starts in IPL seasons, have once again managed to stage a remarkable comeback this year. Under the sharp leadership of Hardik Pandya, they’ve secured five wins in their nine games so far, placing them firmly in contention for the playoffs.
Adding Ben Stokes to their arsenal could be a game-changer. His renowned three-dimensional abilities—batting, bowling, and fielding—would provide unparalleled depth and balance to MI’s squad. Cricket fans worldwide are already visualizing the prospect of two of the best seam-bowling all-rounders, Hardik Pandya and Ben Stokes, joining forces on the field.
