Hardik Pandya has left the Mumbai Indians<\/a>. The all-rounder, a two-time T20 World Cup winner, has ended his second stint with the franchise in a direct swap with Punjab Kings\u2019 Arshdeep Singh. His exit followed a difficult three years as captain, in which he appeared to lose favour with teammates and the franchise\u2019s demanding fanbase. Now 33, Pandya is set to play under Shreyas Iyer in a Punjab side still searching for its first IPL title.<\/p>\n
