The all-rounder has been sidelined for the side’s previous clash against the Delhi Capitals, where they suffered a 6-wicket victory. With Mumbai Indians preparing for the upcoming clash, Mumbai Indians bowling coach Paras Mhambrey confirmed the return of captain on Monday. “He will be available, he had a good couple of hours of net session yester. He is fit and fine. Just to clarify, Hardik wasn’t injured, he was unwell, that’s why he missed the game,” said Mhambrey in pre-match conference.
