After securing the IPL 2025 win against Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians' skipper Hardik Pandya hailed the franchise's scouting team for finding a talent like Ashwani Kumar.

"This wicket just offered a bit more and we thought Ashwani can come in and bowl the way he bowled. First of all, it's all because of the scouts. All MI scouts have gone all the places and picked these young kids," Pandya said after the team's first win of the IPL 2025.
