Maybe Mumbai Indians should have gotten Ashish Nehra along with Hardik Pandya: Sanjay Manjrekar <div id="content-body-70883953" itemprop="articleBody"><p>No player transfer in the Indian Premier League has generated as much drama as Hardik Pandya’s move from Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians.</p><p>The Indian all-rounder switched allegiance in 2024 in an all-cash trade and immediately assumed the Mumbai Indians captaincy.</p><p>Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes the move may have been driven by factors beyond pure cricketing logic.</p><p>“Hardik Pandya [to MI] was a very interesting decision. I think sometimes the franchises make decisions that will be newsworthy and get the franchise in the spotlight because ultimately it’s a commercial brand. You can see the kind of valuations franchises are getting. So it may not even be a sound cricketing call,” said Manjrekar on Sportstar’s <i>Insight Edge</i> podcast.</p><div class="inline_embed article-block-item"><p>[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58JRdBRAbIk[/embed]</p></div><p>Pandya had enjoyed tremendous success with Gujarat Titans, leading the side to the IPL title in 2022 and a runner-up finish in 2023.</p><p>Manjrekar, however, suggested that the Titans’ golden run owed significantly to head coach Ashish Nehra.</p><p>“Hardik Pandya had success with the Gujarat Titans, and that had a lot to do with somebody named Ashish Nehra. So maybe if you wanted Hardik Pandya, you could have also got Ashish Nehra with him,” said Manjrekar.</p><p>“Hardik Pandya, I believe, was brilliant because there was somebody next to him constantly with almost every move that he made on the field,” he added.</p><p>Pandya’s return to Mumbai Indians was also marked by controversy, with sections of fans turning against him after he replaced Rohit Sharma as captain.</p><p>Manjrekar suspects the move may have been influenced by a desire to create impact beyond the field.</p><p>“So it’s really not so much about Hardik Pandya, but the decision, whether it was a sensible decision or it was just somebody wanting to think out-of-the-box a little bit and doing something a little sensational.”</p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on Apr 20, 2026</p></div> #Mumbai #Indians #Ashish #Nehra #Hardik #Pandya #Sanjay #Manjrekar

Deadspin | Jon Rahm leaves field in dust, wins LIV Golf Mexico City <div id=""><section id="0" class=" w-full"><div class="xl:container mx-0 !px-4 py-0 pb-4 !mx-0 !px-0"><img src="https://images.deadspin.com/tr:w-900/28692746.jpg" srcset="https://images.deadspin.com/tr:w-900/28692746.jpg" alt="PGA: Masters Tournament - First Round" class="w-full" fetchpriority="high" loading="eager"/><span class="text-0.8 leading-tight">Apr 9, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Jon Rahm tees off on the fifth hole during the first round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Katie Goodale-Imagn Images<!-- --> <!-- --> </span></div></section><section id="section-1"> <p>Jon Rahm saved his best round of the week for last, firing a 7-under-par 64 Sunday to pull away to win the LIV Golf Mexico City title on Sunday in Naucalpan, Mexico.</p> </section><section id="section-2"> <p>Rahm, the tournament’s leader since the second round, finished the week at Club de Golf Chapultepec at 21-under 263, six shots ahead of fellow Spaniard David Puig (66). It was an all-Spanish top three, as Josele Ballester (67) placed third at 14 under.</p> </section><section id="section-3"> <p>The two-time major winner continued his streak of six straight top-fives to begin the LIV season, including wins in Hong Kong and Mexico City and three second-place finishes.</p> </section><section id="section-4"> <p>“I think a little bit of it is disbelief,” Rahm said. “I’ve performed poorly down the stretch on this course having a chance to win before, so it’s almost like I don’t let myself believe it. If you would have told me last week on Thursday afternoon that I’d be winning by a six-shot margin this week, I would not have believed you because of how bad I played. Hell of an effort, and just what a Sunday.”</p> </section><section id="section-5"> <p>Rahm led by two strokes after 54 holes and made sure he was in the driver’s seat early Sunday, going 5 under on a four-hole stretch. Following his first birdie at No. 2, his powerful drive at the 390-yard, par-4 third hole came to rest about 3 feet from the cup for a tap-in eagle.</p> </section><section id="section-6"> <p>He made a 13-footer for birdie at the par-3 fourth hole and a 20-footer at the par-4 fifth.</p> </section><section id="section-7"> <p>No one would catch him from there. Rahm finished his round with 11 pars and two back-nine birdies.</p> </section><br/><section id="section-8"> <p>“You need a lot of fight because even today on the scorecard it might look smooth,” Rahm said, “but the three-putt on 7, had to make a nice 4-footer on 8, the par on 9, the par on 10, that stretch right there could have been very complicated.</p> </section> <section id="section-9"> <p>“It’s true from then on I played very well and never really stressed, but the that was the key moment of the round.”</p> </section><section id="section-10"> <p>It also marked the first time this season that Rahm’s individual success led to a first-place finish for his team, Legion XIII. Rahm’s team won this event for the third consecutive year.</p> </section><section id="section-11"> <p>Legion XIII finished 45 under for the week, as two of Rahm’s teammates, Englishman Tyrrell Hatton and Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin, were part of a five-way tie for fifth at 11 under. The fourth team member, Caleb Surratt, was 2 under for the week. Collectively, they finished nine shots better than Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC.</p> </section><section id="section-12"> <p>Puig powered the Fireballs’ score this week, carding four birdies and an eagle on his first 10 holes Sunday before petering out as he shot 5-under 66.</p> </section><section id="section-13"> <p>“We’re youngsters, but we really are feeling like we really want to win,” Puig said of his teammates and countrymen, Ballester and Luis Masaveu. “We put a lot of hours behind it, and it’s just kind of great to see that it definitely paid off this week.</p> </section><section id="section-14"> <p>“But yeah, I didn’t really feel at my best (this week). Today was by far the best day, how I hit it.”</p> </section><section id="section-15"> <p>Bryson DeChambeau, who was 2 over par through three rounds, withdrew before the start of the final round citing a wrist injury.</p> </section><br/><section id="section-16"> <p>–Field Level Media</p> </section> </div> #Deadspin #Jon #Rahm #leaves #field #dust #wins #LIV #Golf #Mexico #City
