Indian team's all-rounder Hardik Pandya has mentioned the presence of Ricky Ponting in the early days in Mumbai Indians. Hardik came to Mumbai Indians in 2015. Hardik said that Ponting has given very important contribution.

Hardik told Cricbuzz, "Ponting was the kind of player who took the best care of me. He used to take care of me like a child. I thought he was like my father. Ponting told me a lot of things, he told me about the situation. He told me about the mentality, how strong you can be. As a new player in 2015, I used to sit near the hoardings. Ponting used to sit near me and talk. I learned a lot from all these things. "

Pandya also talked about his teammate Jaspreet Bumrah and told that he likes to live alone. These two players also play together in the Indian team. Pandya said, "Jassi (Bumrah) is a different kind of person. He is calm but he likes to be alone. If he has to talk to someone then he will start talking. Even if I try, I don't become like him. He is very knowledgeable. He talks well. He thinks 20 times before speaking, but he is the kind of player with whom I like to be".
