Nita embarks on recruiting Hardik Pandya and Pandya Crown
Nita Ambani spoke at an event in Boston when she discovered details about hiring and crowns for Mumbaj Indians. She claimed that the brothers did not even have the money to eat the right food and only the dishes are Magga to maintain life.
“In IPL, we all have a fixed budget, so each team can spend X the amount of money, so we had to think about new ways to get talent. So, I remember scouts for talent, and sometimes I went to every wire Trophy Match and my scouts And I would go to all these homemade crickets, “quoted Nita Ambani Ani.
“And one day, our scouts took two young, lightweight, thin boys to the camp. I talked to them, and they said they had not eaten anything but Maggi for three years, no money because they had no money,” she recalled.
The owner of the Mumbaj Indians further revealed that both Hardik and the crown had a hunger, which made me sign them. While Hardik made his debut in 2015, the crown made his debut in 2016 for the franchise.
“But in them I saw a ghost, passion and hunger that they wanted to make him big. These two brothers were Hardik Pandya and the Pandya Crown. In 2015 I bought Hardik Pandya on $ 10,000 at auction and today he is a proud captain of Mumbaj Indians “said Nita Ambani.

Nita Embani on Employment Jasprit Bumrah
Further speaking on the same platform, Nita Ambani spoke about signing the Jasprit Bumrah. She discovered that the scouting team of talents saw something different in Bumrah’s bowling action and signed it. Further, she called the Mumbaj Indians “The Rasady of Crowns in India.”
“Next year, our scouts got a young crunch with an unusual body speech, and they said you were watching him buying. We watched him to talk to the ball. That was our Bumrah, and the rest is history,” she said.
“Last year, we started Tilak Varma, and now he is a proud member of Team India. So I think the Mumbaj Indians are rightly called a crisket nursery in India,” the owner added.
Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah are still playing for us
While the Pandya Crown came out of the national team, Hardik Pandya appeared as the best Allrounder in the country. And Jasprit Bumrah was great in all formats and is one of the best that came out of the nation.
All these players played a key role in us winning four titles from 2015-2020. While Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah are still playing for Mumbaj Indians, the Pandya crown is signed by Royal Challengers Bengalur at the IPL 2025 mega auction.
