Mumbai Indians owner Akash Ambani welcomed Parthiv into the team, saying, “When Parthiv used to play for Mumbai Indians, we got an opportunity to know his understanding of cricket. Parthiv has a deep knowledge of cricket and this makes me very confident about his contribution to our new talent hunt program. “Parthiv said,” I enjoyed the game on behalf of Mumbai Indians. I still remember those moments spent with this champion team for three years. It is time to start a new chapter in my life. I am excited, confident and grateful for this opportunity from the Mumbai Indians management. “
