Hardik Pandya set to return for RR clash after viral

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya is on track to return for the upcoming clash against Rajasthan Royals after recovering from viral fever.

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya missed the match against Delhi Daredevils due to viral illness but is expected to resume training and return for the five-time champions' away clash against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Tuesday. The all-rounder traveled with the team after the Delhi game and the decision to rest him was taken as a precaution during the early stages of the tournament.

MI's next match is against the unbeaten Rajasthan Royals, who are currently topping the table after winning their first two games against Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. The defending champions suffered their first defeat of the season against Delhi Capitals by six wickets in their previous match.
