00:02My name is Pandya.

00:03A guy from Gujarat has come from Baroda.

00:06He doesn't know anything about life.

00:08And this city has taught me a lot of things.

00:10How to be humble.

00:12I was here before.

00:13I went somewhere for just 2 years.

00:14Now I am back.

00:15So what's the point of coming back home?

00:30Music

00:51Anytime you step out of the cricket field,

00:52obviously it's a very special occasion.

00:54But one thing is that

00:56from where you started,

00:58that will always be the closest to anyone's heart.

01:01Home?

01:02Feel like home?

01:04Yeah, Mumbai has been, you know.

01:06This home, in a different way,

01:09obviously my cricketing journey started here.

01:11But at the same point of time,

01:12this city taught me growth in life.

01:15A guy from Gujarat has come from Baroda.

01:18He doesn't know anything about life.

01:20And this city has taught me a lot of things.

01:23How to be humble.

01:24How to never give up in life.

01:26This city has also given me so much love

01:28and at the same point of time, so much learning.

01:30Which I don't think, you know,

01:32anything can take it away from this place.

01:35You know, it's been a very special place.

01:37And I'm going to be forever grateful to obviously the people.

01:39And at the same point of time, to the city as well.

01:41Does this place challenge you?

01:43Like people are telling me,

01:45this is a new challenge.

01:46No, man.

01:47I was here before.

01:49I went somewhere for just 2 years.

01:51Now I am back.

01:52So what's the point of coming back home?

01:55Mumbai considers you as its own.

01:57When you went to Gujarat,

01:59Gujarat is also the same, Hardik Pandya.

02:01You will get that love.

02:02But the first season that he made his debut in 2015

02:05was the second title for Mumbai.

02:07I love this photo, Hardik.

02:09Absolutely love this photo.

02:11Actually, I feel like doing a contest.

02:13There are so many other names.

02:14Jaspreet is still getting ready.

02:16She hasn't shaved her beard yet.

02:18Jassi is there.

02:20There's a young Suchit.

02:21There is Unmookchand.

02:22There is young PP.

02:23Nitish Rana.

02:24And in the middle, full excited HP.

02:27First season, first title.

02:30I mean, everywhere there were some big names.

02:33And then the youngsters.

02:34New nucleus.

02:352015, first season, first final.

02:37First title that he touched.

02:38Take it away, Hardik.

02:39Tell us about this.

02:40It was very special.

02:42Because of this moment,

02:44I am sitting here.

02:45If it wasn't for this,

02:47I wouldn't be here right now.

02:48So, the whole season,

02:51I was fortunate enough that

02:55I was able to contribute

02:56in a much larger scale.

02:57Where there were knockout games.

02:59And I was able to contribute.

03:00My best memories of 2015.

03:02There were two men of the match.

03:04They came in the knockouts.

03:05So, it was a do or die situation.

03:08So, at the same point of time,

03:09if I do the whole summary,

03:11this will be the best year of my life.

03:13Because the journey started from here.

03:15The journey started from here.

03:16And from here,

03:17as they say,

03:18the boy who brought dreams from Gujarat,

03:21how did he take those dreams forward?

03:23This was the only way to go forward.

03:25And life changed like that.

03:29So, almost the ignition point.

03:32After this...

03:33Yeah, MI became a different MI.

03:36Yeah, in MI, they used to say...

03:38We became home-grown superstars.

03:40Home-grown superstars.

03:41Absolutely.

03:42Superstars who were found.

03:43I look like your captain in this.

03:45My name is Pandya.
