Hardik Pandya Leaves Mumbai

In a major decision, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has made BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru his permanent training base.

Hardik, who has been battling recurring injuries, wants to focus on fitness for the next 5-6 years of his white-ball career. He has rented a house near the COE and will train there regularly with world-class medical, recovery and strength facilities.

This is the first time a major active Indian cricketer has chosen the national centre as his primary training hub instead of his IPL franchise base in Mumbai.
