Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia said the club’s acquisition of all-rounder Hardik Pandya from Mumbai Indians is a long-term move that bolsters the team’s experience and confidence ahead of the next IPL auction. Mumbai Indians, facing Pandya’s departure, said they are weighing former captain Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Tilak Varma as possible successors.
