Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has gifted his bat to pace-bowling woman all-rounder Kashvee Gautam ahead of her potential India debut. Pandya met Kashvee during the Women's Premier League (WPL) match against Mumbai Indians and promised to send a bat for her after he came to know that the Gujarat Giants player idolizes him. She had even written HP33 on her bat.

Kashvee made her WPL debut in the 2025 season with Gujarat Giants and played nine matches. She claimed 11 wickets and also scored 43 runs. The 21-year-old was the leading wicket-taker for her franchise in the tournament. Her performance bagged her maiden India call-up for the tri-nation One-day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka and South Africa starting at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on April 27. India will take on Sri Lanka women in the opening match on April 27.

Kashvee's second meeting with Pandya happened at the Arun Jaitely Stadium here ahead of the Mumbai Indians' Sunday match against the Delhi Capitals. The MI captain congratulated Kashvee for her maiden call-up and wished her luck for the future.
